According to the fund's representative, the power plant will ensure full compliance with environmental and safety standards, which will be operated at low cost with low selling price of electricity.
Hai Phong city's Mayor Nguyen Van Tung welcomed Storm Capital Partners's initiative, which is in line with the city's development strategy.
"Hai Phong is home to the biggest deepwater sea port in northern Vietnam and a major logistics hub," Tung added.
