Sembcorp Utilities to develop 750-megawatt gas-fired power project in Vietnam

It signed an MOU with the government of Quang Ngai Province.

Sembcorp Industries' (Sembcorp) subsidiary Sembcorp Utilities signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a 750-megawatt gas-fired power project in the Dung Quat Economic Zone, in central Vietnam’s Quang Ngai province. The MOU was signed with the People’s Committee of Quang Ngai Province (Quang Ngai PC).

According to an announcement, this follows the signing of an MOU between Sembcorp and Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) in March 2017 for the development of this gas-fired power project under a 20-year build-operate-transfer arrangement. 

Under that agreement, Sembcorp has completed its feasibility study and has submitted the report to MoIT earlier this year for further review and evaluation.

Koh Chiap Khiong, head of Singapore, Southeast Asia, & China of Sembcorp, said, “We are committed as a long-term investor to Vietnam and hope to grow our offerings as an integrated energy player to support Vietnam’s move to cleaner energy sources to power the nation’s economic growth.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
