The Ministry of Industry and Trade on July 18 held a ceremony to announce the start of work on the construction of the Vinh Tan 1 thermoelectricity built in the form of BOT (build-operation-transfer).
The Vinh Tan 1 thermoelectricity is built in central Binh Thuan province in the form of BOT (build-operation-transfer) by two Chinese companies – the Southern Power Grid Co. and Chinese International Power Co.Ltd.-, and the Vietnam National Coal – Mineral Industries Holding (Vinacomin) Group.
