According to Nguyen Huu Hoai, Chairman of the Quang Binh People’s Committee, this project will have a capacity of 100 megawatts and an estimated investment value of $400 million. The plant will generate electricity from January 2020.

The project is divided into two phases, each phase having a capacity of 50MW, and the project will use 500,000 tonnes of waste, such as twigs, shoots, roots, and leaves, per year.

Park Jun Hee, vice-chairman of Dohwa Limited Engineering Company, said that the company will conduct a survey to select a suitable site for the project in 2017, and start construction in 2018. Hopefully, the plant will be connected to the national electricity grid by January 2020.

Hoai requested Dohwa Limited Engineering Company to select a reasonable location so as to be convenient for transportation of raw materials.

“Quang Binh province will become the leader in biomass power by the investment of Dohwa Limited Engineering Company”, Hoai said.

As for the province, it will create the necessary favourable conditions for Dohwa Limited Engineering Company to start the project.

In early 2016, Quang Binh issued an investment certificate, allowing Dohwa to build the energy tablet manufacturing factory with the total investment capital of $11 million in the province’s Hon La industrial zone.
