The Prime Minister has approved the project for migration and resettlemen of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Ninh Thuan province.

On March 9, Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai chaired a meeting for considering the mechanisms to support investment in infrastructure construction of the Ninh Thuan province with an aim to contribute to socio - economic development, living stability of the people in the area under influence of the NPP construction.

On 17th September morning, the Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai chaired a meeting of the  State Steering Committee of the Nuclear Power Projects to review the progress of establishing a system of legal documents for these new and important  projects.

According to information from Vietnam  Machinery Installation Corporation (Lilama),  on  June 5th  in Bac Ninh City was held a signing ceremony on  Agreement of Cooperation between 69-1 Lilama Stock Company (Lilama, Vietnam) and Hitachi Plant Construction Company (Hitachi, Japan) in Nuclear Power Plant Construction.

On July 30, 2015, ASE – NIAEP Conjugate Company under Russian National Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom) and Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) signed a Framework Agreement for implementing construction of the first stage  of Ninh Thuan 1 NPP with the two units by 1,200MW each.

Deputy General Director of Rosatom, Vyacheslav Pershukov, said Vietnam is still in the stage of choosing nuclear power technology, while the investment rate can be calculated only after the completion of the design.

An Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS 2014) Mission  of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) including experts of the IAEA, France, Slovenia, the United States, Canada, The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Pakistan has a business trip to Vietnam to assess the second stage safety infrastructure of the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project (NPP).

According to the Vietnam News Agency, the UK nuclear power industry has just received a good new when one of the biggest corporation in Japan was closer to an agreement to built a nuclear power plant (NPP) worth 10 billion pounds in the Northwest of England.

According to the Regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency  (IAEA), controlling  and operating the nuclear reactor built anywhere, is performed in the language of the reactor supply country. So, the language in Ninh Thuan 1 Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) will be Russian.

Ensuring the progress of the smart power grid development project is an important factor to reduce power transmission, distribution costs and other costs to develop power sources. This objective was also stated in Prime Ministerial Decision 1670/2012/QD-TTg.

  Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has officially issued the Circular No16/2017/TT-BCT on grid connected and rooftop solar power development in which regulates the National Solar Power Development Planning (NSPDP) to be made once only. The following updates, additions and corrections for NSPDP are made when adjusting the National Power Development Planning (NPDP). Making, approving and announcing the NSPP are stipulated in the Prime Minister Decision No11/2017/QĐ-TTg on the mechanisms to stimulate developing solar power projects in Vietnam.
