Vice Chairman of the Quang Tri Provincial People’s Committee in central Vietnam, Mr. Le Duc Tien, recently chaired a working session with relevant departments and agencies regarding the investment proposals for two projects: the Quang Binh 1 and Quang Binh 2 solar power plants.
Proposed for Dong Trach Commune, the two projects represent a combined investment of approximately VND2.5 trillion (approx. $95 million).
During the meeting, representatives from Vinh Hung Energy Investment JSC presented the proposal for the Quang Binh 1 Solar Power Plant. The project is designed with a capacity of 120 MW, covering an area of approximately 92.9 ha, with a total investment of VND1.362 trillion ($51.7 million).
The Quang Binh 2 Solar Power Plant is proposed for the same commune with a capacity of 80 MW. This project would require an investment of VND1.138 trillion (over $43 million) and occupy roughly 79.6 ha of land.
Throughout the session, provincial departments focused on addressing several key issues, including potential overlapping boundaries with other projects, the impact on construction routes for neighboring wind power projects, and the capacity of the existing power grid to absorb the additional output.
Delegates urged the investor to conduct a more rigorous analysis of investment efficiency to ensure project feasibility and mitigate risks during implementation. Furthermore, the investor was asked to consider adjusting the project locations to minimize the impact on local residents and to perform a comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA).
Concluding the meeting, Vice Chairman Tien requested that the investor further review and submit a more detailed report on the financial efficiency of the projects. This report will serve as the basis for evaluating the overall feasibility before the province moves forward with the projects.
