Background
In 2017, GE signed a memorandum of understanding with PetroVietnam to develop the combined cycle power plants, Mien Trung I & II.[8] The gas will be sourced from the Ca Voi Xanh Gas Field (Vietnam).[9][10] However, that gas field, also sometimes referred to as "Blue Whale" and being spearheaded by ExxonMobil, has faced significant delays and is now expected to enter production by 2030 at the earliest.
The Vietnamese government approved Mien Trung I & II in November 2019 and as of June 2021 it was reported that feasibility studies were being conducted.[11] In 2021, the project cost for the two 750 MW units was estimated at US$2 billion.[12]
