The Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 power plants, located in Dong Nai province, are liquefied natural gas (LNG) power projects. Petrovietnam Power Corporation (PV Power) is the investor for these plants. They represent a crucial link in the Thi Vai - Nhon Trach LNG supply chain.

With a combined capacity of 1,624 MW, these two plants are expected to be a catalyst for balancing the national power system. This is particularly important as renewable energy rapidly expands, requiring flexible and stable baseload power sources. The project will also alleviate supply pressure during the dry season, pave the way for LNG utilization, introduce modern gas turbine technology, and potentially integrate hydrogen in the future.

Petrovietnam, with a development strategy based on five key pillars, has designated PV Power as its main arm in the power sector. PV Power currently operates 5,830 MW of capacity, contributing approximately 280 billion kWh to the national grid. This project represents a significant advancement in PV Power's efforts to expand its scale and improve the quality of the national power supply.

Beyond the efforts of the construction teams, the project has received close support from the Government, the National Steering Committee for Power Development, various ministries and sectors, the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee, and other entities within the power industry. This timely and coordinated collaboration has resolved issues related to procedures, grid connection, and infrastructure, ensuring the project's progress, quality, and safety as initially planned.

Leaders from Petrovietnam stated that bringing Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 into operation demonstrates the oil and gas industry's proactive and innovative spirit in mastering modern power generation technology, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing emissions. The realization of these two plants shows that the energy transition process has moved beyond conceptual plans, materialized through operational turbines, pipelines, port facilities, and dedicated labor at the construction site. This significantly contributes to advancing Vietnam's green transformation goals.
