Dong Nai-based Nhon Trach 2 thermal power plant’s first turbine officially generated electricity to the national grid on Dec 26, three months ahead of schedule.

 

This is a joint effort of the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PVN) and the project’s contractors - Vietnam Machinery Erection Corporation (Lilama) and PetroVietnam Construction Joint Stock Corporation, as a gift to welcome the 11th National Party Congress.

 

The ahead-of-schedule operation of the first turbine is of significance to ensure the electricity for the country’s economy, especially in the context that 2011’s six-month dry season is forecasted to be in short of 1.4 billion kWh.

 

According to PVN, the group itself and the contractors are making great efforts to operate the second turbine in the first quarter of 2011 and put the combined cycle into operation by the end of next year.
