GE has secured an order from Samsung C&T Corporation to provide power generation equipment for PetroVietnam Power Corporation (PV Power)’s Nhon Trach 3&4 Power Plant in Ong Keo Industrial Park in the Nhon Trach district, Vietnam. Once in commercial operation in 2025, Nhon Trach 3 & 4 is expected to deliver over 1.6 gigawatt (GW) of electricity, and it will be the first power plant fuelled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the country. In addition, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop solutions to improve the efficiency of the existing Nhon Trach 1 power plant and develop long-term cooperation on the maintenance for Nhon Trach 3 & 4, was signed between GE and PV Power.
For the Nhon Trach expansion, GE will provide two blocks of more than 800 megawatts (MW). GE’s OT HRSG technology is a key enabler in advanced water-steam cycles delivering higher combined cycle efficiency, while Mark VIe control systems will help PV Power improve asset visibility, reliability, and availability while reducing operating and maintenance costs.
Once in operation, the new power plant is expected to provide electricity for Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, and Ba Ria – Vung Tau provinces.
