On March 21, 2021, leaders of Long An province granted the investment certificate to the representative of VINACAPITAL GS ENERGY PTE.LTD

The goal of the plan is to put the Long An I and II LNG Thermal Power Plant projects, fuel gas supply infrastructure to the gas pipelines from Hiep Phuoc distribution station, transformer stations and the connection line into synchronous operation according to the schedule approved by the Prime Minister.

Specifically, Long An approved to adjust investment projects including Investment Policy and Investment Certificate before the second quarter of 2024; ensures conditions for starting construction and signs EPC contracts in the third quarter of 2024; puts into commercial operation Long An I LNG Plan in June 2028 and Long An II LNG Plant in June 2031.

According to Long An Provincial People's Committee, putting Long An I and II LNG Thermal Power Plants into operation is a very important and urgent task. Relevant provincial and local departments and branches need to fully grasp the importance of investing in the construction of Long An I and II LNG Thermal Power Plants, thereby determining that this is the task of the entire political system, the responsibility of the local leaders and of the entire people and society.

To bring the project and connection line into key projects, relevant sectors and localities need to speed up the progress of compensation and site clearance in localities; timely resolve difficulties and obstacles, create favorable conditions for investors to implement the project according to the approved schedule.

The Provincial People's Committee also requested that the investor coordinate with local authorities to establish a detailed project implementation schedule with specific work contents and completion timeline; put the project into operation on schedule according to the national electricity development plan and investment policy; implement the project in accordance with the law and ensure quality.

These two plants use liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel with a total expected capacity of 3,000MW, located in Phuoc Vinh Dong commune, Can Giuoc district. Total investment in 2 power plants and LNG storage system is estimated at 3.13 billion USD.

Since March 2021, the province has issued an investment certificate for Long An I and II LNG power plant projects to VINACAPITAL GS ENERGY PTE.LTD./.
