On January 5, 2026, GE Vernova (USA) made history by announcing the commercial operation of the Nhơn Trạch 3 and 4 LNG Power Plants, with a combined capacity of 1.6 gigawatts (GW), owned by Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PV Power).
The Nhơn Trạch 3 and 4 Power Plants mark Vietnam’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fired power plants and the inaugural use of GE’s 9HA.02 gas turbines, part of GE Vernova’s advanced HA-class lineup.
“Vietnam’s energy transition demands solutions that balance capacity, efficiency, and sustainability, which is why we selected the 9HA.02 gas turbines for the Nhơn Trạch 3 and 4 Power Plants. These advanced turbines are central to our commitment to modern energy standards, enabling the plants to achieve a combined cycle efficiency of over 64%, ranking among the world’s most efficient.
Additionally, the 9HA.02 meets stringent emission regulations and offers flexible fuel switching—currently operating on LNG, supporting up to 50% hydrogen co-firing, and paving the way for 100% hydrogen use in the future—aligning with Vietnam’s Net Zero goals for decades to come,” stated a PV Power representative in the press release.
What did GE Vernova bring to the Nhơn Trạch 3 and 4 Power Plants?
To ensure the seamless operation of Vietnam’s first LNG-fired power complex, GE Vernova supplied two units, each exceeding 800 MW in capacity, for the Nhơn Trạch 3 and 4 Power Plants.

Each unit comprises: a 9HA.02 gas turbine—GE Vernova’s most efficient 50 Hz turbine; an STF-D650 steam turbine; a W88 generator; and a single-pressure, non-reheat heat recovery steam generator (OT HRSG), enabling advanced steam cycles for higher combined cycle efficiency (CCGT).
GE Vernova also provided the Mark VIe Distributed Control System (DCS), enhancing PV Power’s asset monitoring, reliability, and operational efficiency while reducing maintenance and operational costs.
GE Vernova’s equipment currently powers approximately 30% of Vietnam’s electricity. The company employs over 1,100 workers across 13 locations within its various businesses in Vietnam.
“While renewable energy is poised for robust growth in Vietnam, high-efficiency, low-carbon gas power will play a critical role in supporting this expansion, ensuring grid stability and reliability,” said Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power business in Asia Pacific.
“This pioneering project is expected to supply electricity to major industrial zones in Southern Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai Province, ushering in a new era for gas power generation in Vietnam. We are proud to execute Vietnam’s first HA project, aligning with national energy goals for more sustainable economic growth,” added Mr. Ramesh Singaram.
