The Vung Ang 1 thermal power plant has resolved the issue.

On August 13th, information from the Ha Tinh Oil and Gas Power Company indicated that, after nearly two years of being shut down due to a technical malfunction, on August 12th, Unit 1 of the Vung Ang 1 Thermal Power Plant (located in Ky Loi commune, Ky Anh town, Ha Tinh province) was repaired and officially reconnected to the national power grid.

Bringing Unit 1 back into operation is of great importance in ensuring national energy security and serving the development of the country's economy .

Vung Ang 1 Thermal Power Plant

Vung Ang 1 Thermal Power Plant is the largest coal-fired power plant in Central Vietnam, comprising two generating units with a total capacity of 1,200 MW. Construction began in late December 2006, with a total investment of nearly US$1.6 billion, and was undertaken by the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PVN). The plant was inaugurated and put into operation in September 2015.

In September 2021, Unit 1 experienced a technical malfunction and has been temporarily shut down ever since. Following the incident, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued a directive to PVN and the PetroVietnam Power Corporation (PVPower) to urgently rectify the problem.

Domestic and foreign experts are focusing on resolving the issue with Unit 1.

The managing and operating unit, Ha Tinh Petroleum Power Company, subsequently organized the selection of contractors and signed contracts with foreign contractors to implement a plan to address the incident at Unit 1. After nearly two years of efforts to rectify the problem and carry out major repairs, Unit 1 has now been put back into operation.

The prolonged failure of Unit 1 at the Vung Ang 1 Thermal Power Plant has affected the industrial development index of Ha Tinh province. Recent socio-economic development reports in Ha Tinh have repeatedly mentioned the decline in the industrial index as a result of the failure of Unit 1 at the Vung Ang 1 Thermal Power Plant.
