As of mid-November, the central province of Quang Tri had granted investment licences to 56 projects with total registered capital of nearly 69.6 trillion VND. (Illustrative photo: VNA) The increase was attributed to Quang Tri’s efforts in COVID-19 prevention and control and maintaining socio-economic development. The province has also bolstered administrative reforms and support for investors.
The energy sector attracts the highest amount of capital, particularly wind and gas-fired power.
Since the start of this year, Quang Tri has given in principle approval to a number of major wind power projects, namely the Huong Linh No.5 with more than 1.34 trillion VND and Huong Hiep No.2 worth 1.37 million VND.
As many as 17 wind power projects in the province were put into commercial operations before November 1 to enjoy the Government’s incentive, said Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Vo Van Hung.
In regards to gas-fired power, in October, local authorities granted permission to the Hai Lang LNG power centre project – first phase, with a capacity of 1,500MW and registered capital near 53 trillion VND.
The project, located at the province’s south-east economic zone, is expected to come into commercial operation by 2026-27./.
