Separately, T&T Group will be responsible for all legal matters pertaining to the project. Jaks, on the other hand, shall be the strategic investor and will be responsible for the engineering, construction and commission process by facilitating the project’s design, engineering, construction and operations.
“The MoU, which was signed on 11 September 2021 at the embassy of Vietnam in Helsinki, Finland demonstrates the common vision of both parties to address Vietnam’s increasing domestic electricity demand, increasing gas demand for gas-fired generation plus the required importation of LNG into Vietnam,” Jaks said.
Vietnam is moving away from its reliance on diesel in the fast-growing electricity sector in favour of renewable energy and gas.
