PV Power receives $521.5m loan for Vietnam’s first LNG to electricity plants

The two plants will add over 1,600 MW.

Citi and ING Germany alongside Korea Trade Insurance Corporation (K-Sure), and Swiss Export Risk Insurance (SERV) have closed a 12-year financing loan worth $521.5m for Petrovietnam Power Corporation (PV Power).

In a statement, Citi said the financing will support the completion of PV Power's Nhon Trach 3 and 4 power plants, which are set to be Vietnam's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) to electricity plants.

The facilities will be located in the southern Dong Nai province, and are expected to add 1,624 megawatts of capacity to Vietnam's electricity network.

Citi and ING acted as the joint coordinator and joint mandated lead arranger. Furthermore, Citi acted as K-Sure agent, global facility agent, security agent, intercreditor agent, and account bank and ING acted as SERV agent for this project.

“Nhon Trach 3 and 4 Power Plants are key national projects and will help meet the growing demand for power in the country. The projects will open a new chapter in the formation and development of the LNG project chain in Vietnam,” said PetroVietnam Corporation CFO Nguyen Duy Giang.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
