The Clean Energy Production Complex will consist of three components: a 1,440 MW pumped-storage hydropower plant with six units; a 3,500 MWp solar power project; and a 350 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
NINH THUẬN — PV Power has proposed the implementation of the Lâm Sơn Clean Energy Production Complex project, with an investment scale of nearly US$4 billion in Ninh Thuận Province.
The complex will consist of three components: a 1,440 MW pumped-storage hydropower plant with six units; a 3,500 MWp solar power project; and a 350 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
The total electricity output is expected to reach 5.87 billion kWh per year. The total investment is estimated at $3.98 billion, with a land use requirement of approximately 184.2 hectares for the pumped-storage hydropower plant and 2,000 hectares for the solar power project.
The project is set to commence in 2026 and is expected to be operational by the end of 2030. It will utilise advanced storage battery and pumped-storage hydropower technologies to convert the less stable solar power into a reliable and flexible electricity supply, thereby realising the model of “self-production, self-consumption” solar power in Ninh Thuận. This aims to harness development potential and meet the goal of making Ninh Thuận a central hub for energy and renewable energy in the country.
The Ninh Thuận provincial leadership agreed and expressed their willingness to facilitate PV Power's preparation of the project documentation. They also urged PV Power to proactively implement the investment procedures early and work closely with relevant departments and local authorities to prepare and submit the project proposal for approval by central ministries, aiming for operation in the investment phase of 2026 - 2030.
With eight power plants currently in operation, totaling 4,205 MW of generation capacity, PV Power is the second largest listed company in terms of maximum capacity, only after the 7,000 MW capacity of Power Generation Corporation 3 (GENCO3, stock code PGV). PV Power's total generating capacity is equivalent to about 5.4 per cent of Việt Nam's total designed generation capacity.
According to a report at the recent mid-year business review conference, PV Power’s leadership stated that the total revenue of the corporation in the first six months of the year was estimated at VNĐ16.169 trillion, reaching 97 per cent of the plan and equivalent to 100 per cent of the same period last year. It is estimated that in the second quarter of 2024, PV Power achieved nearly VNĐ10 trillion in revenue. — VNS
