PV Gas to supply LNG for 2 southern Vietnam power plants for 25 years
PV Gas, a subsidiary of state-owned energy giant Petrovietnam, has signed a contract to supply LNG as feedstock for the Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 power plants, the first two LNG-fired power plants in Vietnam, for 25 years.
The move followed a contract signed by PV Gas for LNG supply for the two power plants during trial production, PV Gas said in a Sunday statement.
The Nhon Trach 3 and 4 project in the southern province of Dong Nai is the only LNG-fired power project in Vietnam’s power development plan VIII (PDP VIII) that meet the deadline for investment and operation.

PV Power, another subsidiary of Petrovietnam, is the main investor of the 1,600 MW, $1.4 billion Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 complex. It is expected to provide nine billion kWh of electricity to the national grid annually.
Nhon Trach 3 connected to the national grid on February 5, a major step to help the power factory meet the deadline of reaching commercial operation from July 2025.
Nhon Trach 4 is scheduled to conduct “first-fire” in April 2025 and then enter commercial operation from October 2025.
The two power plants are set to supply 2.4 billion kWh to the national grid in 2025.
The 25-year LNG supply for Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 is a key success for Vietnam in developing LNG-fired power and switching from natural gas to LNG as feedstock for some power plants, PV Gas emphasized.
