The USD 2 billion Thai Binh LNG power plant project in northern Vietnam will begin construction in late 2025 after completing its feasibility study by mid-year.
Led by Thai Binh LNG Power JSC, a joint venture of Japan’s Tokyo Gas, Kyuden International, and Vietnam’s Truong Thanh Vietnam Group, the plant aims to generate 10 billion kWh annually and contribute USD 162.57 million in taxes.
The project is currently progressing with site clearance and plans to finalize a power purchase agreement with Vietnam Electricity (EVN) in 2026.
