PetroVietnam Power Corporation (PV Power)’s Nhon Trach 3&4 will be the first HA-powered plant in Vietnam, as well as the first to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG)
GE announced it has secured an order from Samsung C&T Corporation, the leader of the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) consortium that will provide power generation equipment for PetroVietnam Power Corporation (PV Power)’s Nhon Trach 3&4 Power Plant in Ong Keo Industrial Park in the Nhon Trach district, approximately 70 kilometers southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
This project marks GE’s first H-Class gas turbine order in Vietnam. Once in commercial operation in 2025, Nhon Trach 3 & 4 is expected to deliver over 1.6 gigawatt (GW) of electricity, and it will be the first power plant fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the country. In addition, on May 11, 2022, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop solutions to improve the efficiency of the existing Nhon Trach 1 power plant and develop long-term cooperation on the maintenance for Nhon Trach 3 & 4, was signed and exchanged between GE and PV Power in the presence of Prime Minister of Vietnam Phạm Minh Chính, during his visit to Washington DC.
