Big-scaled power facilities
In the past years, Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam) has been implementing big-scaled power facilities such as Ca Mau Power Center including 2 gas-fired power plants with total capacity of 1,500MW (commercial operation at the end of 2008) and Nhon Trach Gas-Fired Power Plant No.1 with capacity of 450MW, which provides nearly 10 billion KWh for the national electricity grid, sharing the burden with Electricity of Vietnam and ensuring power supply for production and lives of the people.
Ca Mau Gas-Fired Power Plant
Apart from above power plants, Petrovietnam is going to implement other projects in which it is the investor, such as Song Hau power plant No.1 with capacity of 1,200MW at Song Hau Power Center in Hau Giang province; Thai Binh thermo-electricity plant No.2 (1,200MW), Vung Ang thermo-electricity plant No.1 (1,200MW), Quang Trach thermo-electricity plant No.1 – Quang Binh (1,200MW), Luang Prabang hydro-electricity power plant in neighboring Laos (1,200MW), etc.
