The General Electric Corporation 3 under Viet Nam Electric Group plans to
invest in building Long Son thermal power plant with a total capital of
US$4.39 billion in southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.

The plant is designed to reduce the power shortage and improve the power

following years.

The plant is planned to be built in Long Son Commune, Vung Tau City with an
area of 132ha and a capacity of 3,600MW.

A port of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) with a capacity of 3.5 million tonnes

Long Son thermal power plant is expected to provide 21 billion kWh of
electricity per year to the national power grid and contribute about VND4.1
trillion (US$181 million) per year to the national budget when operational.
