The project, located in Soc Son district’s Nam Son waste treatment complex, is designed to be capable of handling 4,000 tonnes of waste per day and generating about 75 MW.
The plant has an investment of about 291 million USD and uses technologies from Europe.
Its investment licence was approved in 2017, with a foreign investor being in charge of its construction and operation.
