Background

The 1.5GW phase one Hai Lang LNG power plant is being developed as part of the country’s Revised Power Master Plan VII covering a vision through 2030, which was approved by the Vietnamese government in February 2021.

The People’s Committee of the Quang Tri Province approved the first phase of the LNG to power project involving foreign investors in October 2021.

In January 2024, The Investor reported that the sponsors of the project were targeting 2029 for operation of the entire LNG-to-power complex including the power plant. The article states that despite construction beginning two years ago, little progress has been made.

In May 2024, Gas Outlook said that "the project has been mired in controversy amid concerns over its economic feasibility." An analysis by the South Korean group Solutions for our Climate (SFOC) found that, based on an internal economic feasibility study, Vietnam's state utility could pay US$1 billion per year from the gas plant Hai Lang power station. Vietnam could be locked into an overpriced stranded asset if the power project proceeds, according to SFOC's report.

In April 2024, The Investor reported that the Hai Lang power project was behind schedule, and that construction was expected to begin in Q4 2025, with operation now set for Q4 2029.

Under the schedule reported from provincial project meetings in October-November 2024, the Hai Lang LNG phase 1 consortium (T&T Group 40%, KOGAS 20%, KOSPO 20%, Hanwha Energy 20%) planned to establish the project company and complete feasibility approval in late 2025, sign the EPC contract in Q4 2025 (48-month build), begin construction around January 2026, and reach commercial operation by December 31, 2029 (trial operation from April 2029). Phase 1 includes an LNG terminal receiving 170,000-226,000 m3 carriers with a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year.

As of July 2026, there was no clear evidence that construction had begun.
