EPC contract signed for O Mon 4 thermal power plant in Vietnam
The Vietnam National Industry-Energy Group (Petrovietnam) has signed an engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract with a consortium of South Korea's Doosan Enerbility Co and Vietnam's Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 2 for the O Mon 4 thermal power plan in Vietnam.
The initiative is a critical phase in the Block B – O Mon gas-to-power project, which aims to bolster Vietnam's energy security and support its clean energy transition.
Situated in Can Tho city within the Mekong Delta, the O Mon 4 plant will play a pivotal role in the nation's strategic energy planning.
Utilising advanced combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) technology, the plant will have a designed capacity of 1,155MW.
It is scheduled to become operational by December 2028.
The completion of O Mon 4 will boost Petrovietnam's total installed capacity to above 93,000MW - around 10% of Vietnam's overall power capacity.
The Block B – O Mon project encompasses offshore gas extraction at Block B, a gas pipeline, and a thermal power complex.
O Mon 4 is a crucial downstream component of this integrated endeavour, which has experienced almost two decades of delays.
In 2023, the Prime Minister entrusted Petrovietnam with the responsibility of overseeing the O Mon 3 and O Mon 4 thermal power plants, ensuring the alignment of downstream infrastructure construction with upstream gas supply.
In line with the country's amended national power plan, Vietnam is set to augment its power generation capacity by 2030, with an emphasis on renewable energy and a reintroduction of nuclear power.
The plan involves an investment of $136.3bn, more than a quarter of Vietnam's projected 2024 GDP, targeting a reduction in coal dependency, which currently dominates the country's energy mix.

Petrovietnam and partners sign PSC for Block 15-1 oil and gas block
Petrovietnam, along with its joint venture partners, has officially signed a product sharing contract (PSC) for Block 15-1 on the Southern Continental Shelf of Vietnam. This move is pivotal in reinforcing Petrovietnam's commitment to further oil and gas exploration and exploitation, which is crucial for the stability of the nation's energy resources. Block 15-1 is considered a block of special strategic importance to Petrovietnam and the Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Corporation (PVEP). Initially, the block was operated by a consortium of five international and domestic partners. Following changes, Perenco has now assumed the operational role previously held by ConocoPhillips. The joint venture operates through Cuu Long Joint Operating Company (Cuu Long JOC), and is one of the few large-scale collaborations within the Vietnamese oil and gas sector. In the updated PSC, PVEP has increased its stake to 59%, with Perenco, KNOC, SK and Geopetrol holding 19.8%, 11.4%, 7.2% and 2.6%, respectively. Since its inception, Block 15-1 has been a significant contributor to Vietnam's oil and gas output, demonstrating high economic efficiency. It has been a cornerstone of the country's production for many years. The block, located in the Cuu Long basin, encompasses several active oil and gas fields. The Black Lion field, discovered in 2003, quickly became a focal point for offshore production in Vietnam, boasting estimated oil reserves of around 600 million barrels (mbbl). This figure is second only to the reserves of the White Tiger field. By 2024, the project was expected to produce more than 426mbbl of oil and more than 216 billion cubic feet of gas, generating revenues exceeding $31bn (VND812.57trn), with more than $15bn contributed to the State budget. Last month, PetroVietnam announced the commencement of the first commercial oil flow from the Đại Hùng oilfield phase three project.

This Technology is Conquering the World: Neutrinovoltaics Redefining Global Infrastructure
Beyond the Grid: Neutrino® Energy Group's Strategy for Land, Sea, Sky, and Space MUNICH, DE / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2025 / A global energy transition is no longer optional-it's a necessity. But behind the scenes of solar and wind, another technology is entering industrial reality with far greater implications. Neutrinovoltaic technology, developed by the Neutrino® Energy Group, is not a distant concept. It's an operational platform for decentralized, 24/7 energy generation that is now expanding into mobility, aerospace, marine systems, and even high-security communications. Neutrinovoltaic technology converts the kinetic energy of neutrinos and other non-visible radiation into electricity. These omnipresent particles trigger atomic vibrations in a nanomaterial composed of alternating layers of graphene and doped silicon. The resulting resonant frequency is transformed into direct current. Far from ambient energy scavenging, this is a controlled, scalable generation method already powering advanced applications. Power Without Fuel: The Neutrino Power Cube The Neutrino Power Cube is a compact, modular, and emission-free energy system delivering 5 to 6 kilowatts of continuous power. Weighing just 50 kilograms, it operates silently and autonomously, independent of weather or location. With no fuel, no combustion, and no grid connection required, the Cube holds the potential to decentralize energy infrastructure and become a cornerstone of clean, off-grid power generation worldwide. Autonomous Mobility: The Pi Car The Pi Car applies neutrinovoltaic integration to electric vehicles. Instead of relying on traditional charging infrastructure, the Pi Car generates power continuously by embedding neutrinovoltaic materials into structural components like the body panels and roof. After an hour in ambient conditions, the vehicle can achieve up to 100 kilometers of additional range. Collaborators include Simplior Technologies for AI-based energy optimization, C-MET Pune for materials development, and SPEL Technologies for battery integration. The concept also supports retrofitting existing EV platforms to enhance range and energy independence. Flight Beyond Limits: Pi Fly Pi Fly is Neutrino® Energy Group's aeronautics program, developing UAVs powered by onboard neutrinovoltaic systems and supercapacitor storage. Current prototypes include multirotor and flying wing models. The next phase targets autonomous VTOL aircraft for cargo delivery. Supporting this effort are mobile hydrogen refueling units, also powered by neutrinovoltaics, enabling off-grid aviation infrastructure. Maritime Transformation: Nautic Pi Nautic Pi brings this energy platform to the sea. Neutrinovoltaic-powered marine vessels are under conceptual development, allowing autonomous navigation without onboard fuel or external charging. The system is particularly suited for long-duration missions, remote operations, and submersible platforms. Communication Breakthrough: Project 12742 Finally, Project 12742 explores neutrino-based data transmission. Unlike radio signals, neutrinos pass through dense materials with minimal interference. This allows for real-time, secure global communication even through rock, oceans, or planetary bodies-an enormous leap for high-security and interplanetary data systems. As governments and industries seek viable decarbonization paths, the Neutrino® Energy Group is no longer just proposing solutions-it's deploying them. With a multidisciplinary team of hundreds of researchers, engineers, and scientists from over 40 countries, strategic alliances, and a growing portfolio of high-impact applications, neutrinovoltaic technology isn't coming-it's already here. And it's conquering the world. Neutrino Energy GroupNeutrino Scientific BoardHolger Thorsten Schubart - CEOWebsite: Related Video SOURCE: Neutrino Energy Group press release
