BTO – A delegation led by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Hoai Trung visited Vinh Tan 1 limited company on September 7th afternoon. Accompanying with the delegates, there was Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Tuan Phong, representatives of the provincial Party Committee Office, and the Department of Trade and Industry.

The leader of Vinh Tan 1 Company has represented the operational process of the Vinh Tan 1 BOT thermal power plant.

Since November 2018, the plant has come into operation at a high additional charge, with a total output of over 17 billion kWh. In August alone, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the company has maintained its power production with nearly 6 billion Kwh, gaining 70 percent of the plan, and meeting about 3.5 percent of the Country’s electricity demand.

Currently, the Company is employing 500 Vietnamese laborers, including 75 percent of the local residents. Besides, the Company has taken strict measures to ensure environmental protection during operation, especially measures against dust spread in the slag area.

Addressing the meeting, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Hoai Trung highly appraised the Company’s achievement over the past time, especially their efforts in environmental protection and the Covid-19 control and prevention. Deputy Minister Trung urged the company promptly to promote their achievements, keeping on project operation, and finding partners to treat the ash, protecting the overall environment.

On the same day, Deputy Minister Trung visited Aroma resort in Phu Hai ward, Phan Thiet city.
