The conference was attended by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien, and other government officials.

The Son My 2 CCGT power plant has a total capacity of 2.2 GW and will be located in Binh Thuan Province. The $1.8 billion plant will have a 20-year contract with the Government of Vietnam.

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Joseph Uddo, President, AES Vietnam, said: “The investment policy decision of the Son My 2 CCGT is a significant milestone enabling us to move ahead with the development of the Son My 2 power plant. We are honoured to receive approval at this significant event today on the action plan to implement the Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW of the Politburo, which recognises the importance of the Son My 2 CCGT power plant project in ensuring energy security, promoting international investment and the socio-economic development of Viet Nam”. 

Son My 2 complements AES’ investment plans in gas infrastructure in the country together with the previously announced $1.4 billion Son My LNG import terminal, a joint venture with Petrovietnam Gas JSC (PV Gas), which received the Investment Registration Certificate in May 2022 from the Government of Viet Nam. Together, the plant and terminal will play a major role in shaping Viet Nam’s energy future by diversifying the energy mix with imported LNG, as well as meeting the country’s increasing demand for sustainable and affordable electricity.
