Launching construction of the Song Hau 1 Thermal Power Plant

The construction of the Song Hau 1 Thermal Power Plant started on May 16 with a ground-breaking ceremony in the Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang launched by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.

Speaking at the ceremony, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said the Song Hau 1 Power Plant is important to ensuring national energy security, and asked relevant parties to ensure the quality and deadline of the project.
A special mechanism was adopted for the construction of the plant to ensure its operation begins in 2019, the PM stressed. 

 

The plant has a total investment of 43 trillion VND with two turbines producing a combined capacity of 1,200 MW. 
Song Hau 1, forming part of the Song Hau Electricity Centre, will supply 7.8 billion kWh to the national grid and generate jobs for hundreds of local residents.
It will realise the national oil and gas sector’s power development strategy to 2030.
