(CPV) - Before the information that Long An province is selecting a new investor related to the Long An I and Long An II LNG power plant project, the Long An Department of Industry and Trade affirmed that the investor is still implementing in accordance with the law.

On May 23, Mr. Tran Thanh Toan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Long An signed an official dispatch announcing the progress of the Long An I and Long An II LNG Power Plant Project, because recently there was public opinion that the Long An Provincial People's Committee directed specialized agencies to advise on selecting a new investor for this project.

The official dispatch of the Department of Industry and Trade of Long An confirmed that, currently, the LNG Power Plant Project Long An I, Long An II (located in Southeast Asia Industrial Park, Can Giuoc District, Long An) is still being fully implemented by the investor in investment procedures and periodically reporting to the Department of Planning and Investment and the Department of Industry and Trade of Long An.

There is no announcement from Long An Provincial People's Committee for investors to submit documents for consideration and selection of suitable investors to implement this project.

It is known that, based on the proposal of Long An province, on August 13, 2020, the Prime Minister issued Official Dispatch No. 1080/TTg-CN on fuel conversion and capacity adjustment of Long An I and Long An II thermal power plants from using coal to using imported LNG gas fuel; adjusting the total capacity of the two plants to 3,000 MW. Adjusting the operation schedule of Long An I LNG Gas Power Plant in 2025 - 2026; the operation schedule of Long An II LNG Gas Power Plant is expected before 2035.

In March 2021, the Department of Planning and Investment of Long An province granted an investment certificate for the Long An I, II LNG Power Plant Project to VINACAPITAL GS ENERGY PTE.LTD Company with a total expected investment capital of more than 72,000 billion VND, equivalent to more than 3.1 billion USD.

The Department of Industry and Trade has sent an official dispatch requesting the Department of Information and Communications of Long An to inspect and handle organizations and individuals posting false information about the Long An I and Long An II LNG Power Plant Project./.
