VinEnergo Energy Joint Stock Company, a subsidiary of Vingroup, has signed a technology selection agreement with US based GE Vernova to supply advanced gas turbines and generators for the VinEnergo Hai Phong LNG power plant project. The partnership marks a significant milestone in Vietnam’s efforts to strengthen energy security while advancing its transition toward cleaner and more sustainable power generation.
The agreement was signed during The Energy of Change Summit 2026 held in Hanoi and attended by Acting Minister of Industry and Trade Le Manh Hung along with more than 400 representatives from global energy organisations. The deal is expected to support construction progress and help bring the Hai Phong LNG power plant into operation by the end of 2030.
Under the agreement, GE Vernova will supply two 9HA.02 gas turbines and two H78 generators for Phase I of the project, providing a total generation capacity of about 1,600 MW. Once completed, the plant is expected to become the largest gas-fired power facility in Vietnam and a key contributor to the country’s growing electricity demand.
Nguyen Anh Khoa, Chief Executive Officer of VinEnergo Energy Joint Stock Company, said the collaboration with GE Vernova will enable the deployment of cutting-edge technology that improves operational efficiency while supporting the company’s long-term sustainability goals.
“Partnering with GE Vernova to deploy the most advanced technologies will ensure optimal operational efficiency for the Hai Phong LNG power plant and reaffirm our commitment to reducing emissions while building a sustainable green industrial and energy ecosystem,” Khoa said.
Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO of Gas Power Asia at GE Vernova, said the company is honoured to play a central role in the project. “Through the deployment of the 9HA.02 gas turbine and H78 generator, we are delivering advanced technology that supports lower emissions, industry-leading efficiency, and reliable large-scale power generation,” he noted, adding that the partnership reflects GE Vernova’s commitment to supporting Vietnam’s transition to more sustainable energy.
The 9HA.02 gas turbine technology is designed for high efficiency and operational flexibility. It features fast start-up capability and rapid load adjustment, allowing the plant to respond effectively to fluctuating power demand. Operating at combustion temperatures exceeding 1,400°C, the system significantly enhances power generation efficiency.
Another notable feature of the turbine is its flexible fuel capability. It can burn hydrogen at up to 50% by volume, with a future roadmap to operate on 100% hydrogen, aligning the project with long-term decarbonisation and clean energy objectives.
The Hai Phong LNG power plant, being developed by a consortium led by Vingroup and VinEnergo, is expected to play a major role in strengthening Vietnam’s power supply while supporting the country’s broader strategy to transition toward cleaner energy sources. Once operational by 2030, the facility is anticipated to rank among the world’s leading LNG-fueled power plants.
