ENERGY PROJECTS IN CAMAU PROVINCE
As there is no list of renewable energy
("RE") projects in the National Master
Plan for Power Development ("PDP8"), it
is unclear whether a potential RE project in a province/city is
included in PDP8. To address this uncertainty, the People's
Committee of Ca Mau Province ("PC") has
recently issued a letter, seeking MOIT's endorsement for energy
projects in its Province which will be developed during 2023-2030.
According to the PC's letter (Letter no 4201), the PC has
requested the MOIT to include 37 RE projects and one LNG power
project in PDP8: (i) 34 wind power projects (13,068 MW); (ii) two
biomass projects (48 MW); (iii) three waste-to-energy projects
(16MW); and (iv) one LNG power plant (1,500 MW). The particular RE
projects can be found in the PC's Letter no. 4201.
In addition, the PC has also proposed to develop other wind and
solar power projects (with capacity of 16,000MW) which are not
connected to EVN's grid, and which generate power for export
and for the production of hydrogen.
