Commercial operations have started at the 1.6GW Nhon Trach 3&4 Power Plant in Vietnam, using GE Vernova’s high-efficiency, air-cooled gas turbine technology and LNG as fuel. The plant, constructed by Samsung C&T and Lilama, will meet growing electricity demand in southern Vietnam, aligning with the country’s energy goals for 2030.

GE Vernova supplied the project with two blocks, each with over 800MW capacity. The technology used in the plant is expected to reduce carbon emissions compared to coal-fired facilities and promote grid stability and integration of renewable energy sources. The project also supports GE Vernova’s commitment to modern energy standards.

The Nhon Trach 3&4 project marks a shift from coal to gas, emphasizing efficiency and sustainability. The equipment for the plant was partly manufactured domestically at GE Vernova’s facilities in Vietnam. The advanced 9HA.02 gas turbine enables the plant to achieve over 63% combined cycle efficiency, ranking it among the world’s most efficient facilities.

GE Vernova currently supports up to 30% of Vietnam’s electricity supply with its technologies and employs over 1,100 people across 13 locations in the country. The company’s focus on sustainable energy generation and efficiency is in line with Vietnam’s National Power Development Plan VIII and its goals for a more sustainable energy mix by 2030.
