The current focus is on the installation of the boiler - the "heart" of the Factory, which is being accelerated, along with a series of other important items being urgently completed, ready for synchronous implementation in the near future.
The current focus at the Long Phu 1 Project construction site is the installation of boiler equipment for both units 1 and 2.
Urgent Boiler Construction
At the Long Phu 1 construction site, the construction atmosphere is heating up day by day. The Long Phu 1 Oil and Gas Power Project Management Board (PMU) is closely coordinating with the Vietnam Oil and Gas Technical Services Corporation ( PTSC ) to install boilers for both units 1 and 2. The first structural blocks and pressure equipment have been erected, the main equipment is continuously being gathered and brought to the installation location. The two large tower cranes serving the construction have just been completed, preparing for the next stages.
All equipment installation and supervision work was carried out by the team of engineers and experts from the Project Management Board and PTSC, in the absence of foreign experts from the designer and manufacturer.
To date, all installation items have met the technical, safety and progress requirements. It is expected that both boilers will be installed and pressure tested in the second and third quarters of 2026, ensuring the generation schedule of Unit 1 in the third quarter and Unit 2 in the fourth quarter of 2027.
Mr. Ha Dinh Nien inspected the construction site and directed the installation of boiler equipment.
The peak construction pace often forces the team of officers and engineers on the construction site to work overtime, through lunch hours, and on weekends to meet important milestones. The working spirit of "working during the day is not enough, take advantage of working at night"; "working day, working at night, working on extra days off" - as the Prime Minister once directed at key projects - has truly become the motto of the Project Management Board team.
Sharing about the current progress, Mr. Ha Dinh Nien - Head of Long Phu 1 Project Management Board said that, in parallel with the implementation of the boiler construction, the Board has basically completed the issuance of bidding documents for the main packages of the project. Some packages have selected contractors, such as the chimney package, fire protection package, administrative building package, warehouse package, expected to sign contracts in July and start implementation in August 2025. The entire contractor selection work is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025 and construction will be carried out simultaneously on site from the fourth quarter of 2025.
At the same time, negotiations with existing OEMs have also made positive progress. Most subcontractors have expressed their goodwill to continue supplying equipment for the project and are willing to share costs and risks with the investor. This is a key and important factor that helps Petrovietnam make the most of existing materials and equipment, limit design changes, and avoid adjustments - thereby ensuring progress, quality and the goal of operating the plant by the end of 2027.

Inner strength and spirit make movement
One of the great advantages of the Long Phu 1 Project is currently human resources. The Project Management Board has gathered a team of engineers with extensive experience in the field of thermal power. Many have been with Long Phu 1 since the early days and have a thorough understanding of each item of the project. In addition, new personnel from successful projects such as Vung Ang, Quang Trach, Van Phong, etc. have brought with them valuable practical experience to contribute to the continued success of Long Phu 1.
The spirit of transformation is not only reflected in the progress of the construction site, but also spreads strongly within the team. Many staff who left the project when the work was slow have now returned with a new mindset, determined to bring the project to the finish line together. Long-term commitment and a high sense of responsibility create a united team, ready to overcome all difficulties ahead.
Overview of Long Phu 1 Thermal Power Plant Project
In particular, the attention and strong direction from the leaders of the Vietnam National Energy Industry Group (Petrovietnam) is a great source of motivation for the team at the construction site. Professional meetings, inspection trips, and progress monitoring are held regularly to promptly resolve difficulties and provide maximum support to the Project Management Board throughout the implementation process.
In the overall picture of Vietnam's energy development, Long Phu 1 Thermal Power Plant is one of the key projects. The fact that the project has accelerated again and entered the construction phase is a positive sign showing Petrovietnam's efforts in ensuring national energy security. Under the close direction of the group, along with the determination of the Project Management Board and contractors, Long Phu 1 is gradually realizing its goal of generating electricity by 2027.
