Background

In November 2016, the project had been left out of Vietnam's revised National Power Development Plan for the 2011-2020 Period and Vision to 2030 (PDP7R) because the project could not get "the consensus of the local people and authority" to build it.[10]

In 2018, however, the province agreed to move ahead with the project. According to NS Energy:

"The People's Committee of the Bac Lieu Province signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Energy Capital Vietnam (ECV), a Vietnam-focused project development and asset management company based in the US, to invest in an integrated LNG-to-power project in May 2018."[11]

In September 2019, An Australian company, LNG Limited, and a Vietnamese company, Delta Offshore Energy, formed an alliance with Vietnam’s Bac Lieu provincial government to develop the project.[12] Reuters reported, "The deal comes at a time when LNG Ltd has been struggling to lock in sales agreements for its Magnolia project due to the U.S. trade dispute with China, which has been seen as a key potential customer for U.S. LNG projects."[13]

In October 2019, the project still needed government approvals.[14] But in December 2019, the Vietnam government included all 3,200 MW of the Bac Lieu LNG-to-Power Project in PDP7R, an "important milestone" in the approval process.[15]

As of February 2021, according to the draft PDP8 the Feasibility Study is in progress.[16] In September 2021 Delta Offshore announced environmental approval for the project.[17]
