EVN proposes corporate bond issue for developing nuclear power in Vietnam

Phan Minh Tuan, head of EVN renewable energy and nuclear power project’s investment board said that bonds might be issued for carrying out construction project of the first nuclear power plant in Vietnam. He revealed the information on the occasion of participating the international exhibition on nuclear power held on May 27 and 28.

Tuan added that investment capital for setting up a nuclear power plant would be at the highest level among the industrial power generator models at present.

At present, Electricity of Vietnam Group (EVN) has started cooperation with Russia in providing technologies for the country’s first nuclear power plant in Ninh Thuan province.

The project’s feasibility study was underway and EVN would approve the profile to seek for partners’ opinions.

The construction of Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Plant was expected to be started in 2014 and to be finished after 18-24 months.
