On June 6, 2025, Nhon Trach 4 Power Plant successfully conducted its first fire and operated in a no-load mode at 3,000 rpm, a crucial technical milestone before the turbine’s test run with load. As planned, after completing the testing and technical evaluation, the plant will officially commence commercial operations in November 2025.
As of the end of June 2025, the Nhon Trach 3 and 4 complex had completed 99.7% of the overall workload. Equipment procurement and installation have been finalized. Nhon Trach 3 Power Plant, in particular, connected to the national grid on February 5, 2025, and is currently in the test run phase. Notably, in April, this unit operated stably for 30 hours at baseline capacity, generating 812 MWh of electricity, reflecting the effectiveness of the technology and the seamless coordination between the construction units and the investor. Nhon Trach 3 Power Plant is expected to commence commercial operations in mid-August 2025.

The Nhon Trach 3 and 4 Power Plant complex project, invested by Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam) member – Vietnam Oil and Gas Power Group Joint Stock Company (PV POWER), is the first project in Vietnam to use imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) for power generation. With a total capacity of nearly 1,500 MW, the two plants will not only contribute to the national power system amid rising loads but also pave the way for the energy industry’s new development direction, in line with the government-approved Power Development Plan VIII’s orientation for LNG power development.
