Petrovietnam Begins 1.15GW O Mon IV Thermal Plant Construction in Mekong Delta

Petrovietnam has begun construction of the O Mon IV thermal power plant in Can Tho, Vietnam, marking the first downstream project in the Block B–O Mon gas-to-power value chain. The 1.15 GW plant, using advanced combined-cycle gas turbine technology, is scheduled for commercial operation in December 2028, aligning with initial gas deliveries from Block B, Vietnam’s second-largest offshore gas project. The plant will supply electricity to the Mekong Delta region and increase Petrovietnam’s managed power capacity to over 9,300 MW, approximately 10% of the national grid. The project is expected to strengthen Vietnam’s energy security, support economic growth, and contribute to the country’s net-zero 2050 goals through cleaner, more efficient power generation. A joint venture between South Korea’s Doosan Enerbility and Vietnam’s PECC2 has been appointed as the EPC contractor, bringing extensive experience in power infrastructure development. Petrovietnam emphasizes the project’s strategic importance in advancing national energy integration and sustainable development.
