Inaugurating the Vung Ang 1 Thermo Power Plant
A ceremony to inaugurate the Vung Ang 1 Thermal Power Plant in Ky Anh district, the central province of Ha Tinh was held on September 17.
The 1.25-billion-USD plant started its construction in July 2009. The first turbine of the 1,200MW plant began operational in August 2014 and the second one started generating electricity in April this year, contributing a total of 3 billion kWh to the national grid so far.
The plant is expected to provide around 7.2 billion kWh for the national grid each year, with annual proceeds of 7-8 trillion VND, thus helping solve electricity deficiency and ensure energy security for the national industrialisation and modernisation.
Addressing the ceremony, Prime Minister (PM) Nguyen Tan Dung said the two turbines generate electricity at designed capacity marks a turning point as this is the coal-fueled plant having the biggest-ever capacity.
The PM also participated in a ceremony to inaugurate the first coal-fueled turbine of a power plant of the Formosa Group located in the Vung Ang Economic Zone.
PM Dung hoped that the Taiwanese group will continue efforts to ensure the progress of the project and contribute more to the socio-economic development in Ha Tinh and the northern central region.
The PM visited the construction site of the Son Duong deep-water port at the economic zone.
At the meeting with leaders of Ha Tinh province earlier, PM Dung required them to continue ensuring defence security and social safety and order, attracting more investment, improving the investment environment and reforming administrative procedures.
The PM said that the Government always creates favourable conditions for the province to grow further in order to speed up the development of the northern central region and the entire country.
Ha Tinh province ranks sixth nationwide in foreign investment attraction, and is one of the five localities leading the country in new-style rural area building.
