Background

In 2017, GE signed a memorandum of understanding with PetroVietnam to develop the combined cycle power plants, Mien Trung I & II.[7] The gas will be sourced from the Cá Voi Xanh (Blue Whale) oil field.[8][9] The Vietnamese government approved the project in November 2019 and as of June 2021 it was reported that feasibility studies were being conducted.[10]
