HÀ NỘI — T&T Group proposed investment for Hải Lăng liquefied natural gas (LNG) electricity centre with total capital of US$4.4 billion in a meeting with the Quảng Trị People’s Committee last week.

Specifically, the project has a scale of nearly 120 hectares, located in Hải An and Hải Ba communes, Hải Lăng District in the Southeast Economic Zone.

The project has a phase 1 capacity of 1,200-1,500 MW and a phase 2 capacity from 2,400 - 3,000 MW. Phase 1 is expected to go into operation from 2028.

The project is in line with the construction plan of the Southeast Economic Zone and the provincial socio-economic development orientation, as well as gas industry development plan and projects in need of gas in the province by 2025, said the provincial department of industry and trade.

The Electricity of Việt Nam (EVN)’s branch in the province highly appreciated the capacity of T&T Group and believed in their ability to implement the project.
