Malaysia to build thermal power plant in Vietnam
(VOV) - Malaysia’s Che Group Sdn Bhd is cooperating with Vietnam’s Hau Giang Power Plant Joint Stock Company to build 20 thermal power plants worth US$600 million in the country.
Che Group Managing Director K.K. Chang said each plant can produce 10MW by using rice husks as main material.
The first will be constructed in Hau Giang province later this year and the remaining ones in six other provinces within five years.
He said this is the first thermal power plant of its kind ever built in Vietnam to produce high-quality harmless ashes.
All machinery and equipment will be supplied by CHE Group which cooperates with the UK’s Torftech Ltd and Germany’s ERK Eckrohrkessel GMBH in designing modern system using rice husks as main material.
CHE Group and Torftech have established a joint venture named Torche Energy Sdn Bhn as the building contractor to do the work.
