Background

In April 2021, Vietnam's prime minister approved the adding of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal in Ca Na LNG Power Complex. The terminal can endure loads of up to 97,000 tonnes and will directly support the first phase (1,500MW) of the LNG power complex.

By the end of 2020, Ninh Thuan People's Committee issued Decision No.2162/QD-UBND approving the project of the first phase of the Ca Na LNG power complex, with a capacity of 1,500MW implemented in Phuoc Diem commune (Thuan Nam district), with a total project investment value of more than VND49 trillion ($2.13 billion). The project includes the LNG power plant using combined-cycle gas turbines with a capacity of 1,500MW, as well as the material supply and handling system (including LNG import terminal, LNG storage, gas recycling warehouse, and gas pipeline system), the power transmission system to ensure the transmission of the entire 6,000MW generated by the LNG power complex, and the related infrastructure and technical works.

The Ca Na LNG complex will commence implementation in the third quarter of 2021, and put into operation in the third quarter of 2024.

In September 2021, the Ninh Thuan People’s Committee released a decision that it would select investors through an international investor bidding process. Five investor consortiums have been initially selected, among them Novatek, which signed an MOU with the province of Ninh Thuan in 2019 to advance an LNG project.

As of July 2023, there are no updates on the project. Ca Na LNG power station is included in the Power Development Plan 8, however there are no mentions of the LNG terminal.

In March 2024, Novatek and Vietnam's Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan discussed opportunities for collaboration on LNG, including the Ca Na LNG Terminal project. Tan reportedly urged Novatek to accelerate development on the project. The project is again considered proposed.

In July 2025, The Investor reported that Ca Na LNG had extended a bidding deadline for a sponsor, the fifth issued by the project, to July 19. The total cost of the power project, including the power plant, was estimated to be VND57.39 trillion ($2.19 billion), up from VND56.01 trillion previously.

In January 2026 the Trung Nam-Sideros River consortium won Vietnam's first international competitive tender for an LNG power project under PDP8, and on April 10, 2026 signed the investment-business contract with the Khanh Hoa People's Committee for the VND57.4 trillion (US$2.18 billion) Ca Na LNG project: a 1,500 MW CCGT plant plus an LNG import terminal with a regasification throughput of 1-1.2 million tonnes per year, a 220,000 m3 storage tank, an import berth and a 2,400 m breakwater, on about 140 ha of land and water in the former Thuan Nam district (Ninh Thuan, now part of Khanh Hoa). Commercial operation is required before December 31, 2030.
