South Korea’s Doosan Enerbility has signed a contract with Petrovietnam (PVN), Vietnam’s largest state-owned enterprise, for the construction of O Mon 4 gas-fired combined cycle power plant. The project is slated to be built by 2028, with an installed capacity of 1,155 MW.

The O Mon 4 power plant will be located about 180 km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City. Upon completion, this facility is expected to help establish a stable power supply for Vietnam’s southwest region including the Can Tho municipality.

Doosan won the contract together with its consortium partner PECC2, a local company specialising in power plant construction. Doosan’s role will be to supply the main components and handle the construction and overall commissioning process.

“This recent project win is owing to our successful delivery of numerous projects in Vietnam’s power sector, which has demonstrated our competitiveness in this field,” said Hyeonho Lee, CEO of Doosan Enerbility’s plant EPC business group. 

He added, “As Vietnam has plans to additionally build gas-fired combined cycle power plants with a maximum combined capacity of 37.4 GW, we will actively endeavour to secure more orders here.”
