The plant is part of Petrovietnam’s flagship gas-to-power Block B–O Mon project. It will use a new generation combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) technology, with a designed capacity of 1,155 MW. This technology is both highly efficient and environmentally friendly. 

The plant is expected to go operational in December 2028, in time for offshore gas to be delivered from Block B. 

The O Mon 4 Thermal Power Plant will bring Petrovietnam’s total installed capacity to over 9,3000 MW, accounting for around 10% of the country’s total power capacity. Once completed, the plan will provide clean and stable power to the national grid and contribute to Vietnam’s economic development.
