en.Wedoany.com Reported - Phuoc Dinh Commune and Vinh Hai Commune in Khanh Hoa Province have been selected as the construction sites for the Ninh Thuan 1 and Ninh Thuan 2 nuclear power plant projects, bringing new development opportunities to these two coastal areas that have long faced development difficulties. The nuclear power project is regarded by the Vietnamese government as a national key project, playing an important role in ensuring energy security and promoting socio-economic development.
Phuoc Dinh Commune covers an area of approximately 154 square kilometers with a population of about 35,300 people; Vinh Hai Commune has a natural area of over 16,000 hectares and a population of more than 36,000 people. Residents of both areas are primarily engaged in agricultural production and aquaculture fishing and farming. Both are located in the southern coastal region of Khanh Hoa Province and benefit from a coastal road axis stretching over 106 kilometers, providing synchronized connections with National Highway 1, the North-South railway, the North-South expressway, and seaports.
With the synchronized improvement of transportation infrastructure and the central government's approval to restart the Ninh Thuan nuclear power plant project, these two townships have gained new development momentum. Residents in the core construction areas of the project have expressed support and are willing to hand over land to facilitate project progress. Vo Van Bay, a resident of Thai An Village, the core construction area for the Ninh Thuan 2 nuclear power plant, stated that the public unanimously supports the project and is willing to create favorable conditions for its smooth implementation.
Khanh Hoa Province is advancing land acquisition and resettlement work, aiming to complete it by June 30, 2026. Zheng Minghuang, Vice Chairman of the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee, pointed out that public consensus, along with reasonable compensation, support, and resettlement mechanisms, are key factors in ensuring the project's progress.
Once completed, the Ninh Thuan 1 and Ninh Thuan 2 nuclear power plant projects will provide approximately 4,600 MW of large-scale baseload electricity, helping to ensure national energy security and supporting Vietnam's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The project will also inject momentum into attracting investment, developing supporting industries and services, creating job opportunities, and enhancing local technological levels.
Truong Xuan Vi, Secretary of the Phuoc Dinh Commune Party Committee, stated that the local government is seizing the project opportunity to adjust planning and create land funds to attract investment in industries and services serving the construction and operation of the power plant, particularly employee service sectors such as catering, accommodation, and entertainment. The two communes of Phuoc Dinh and Vinh Hai hope that the project will leverage the potential of the local marine economy, energy, tourism, high-tech agriculture, and mineral resources, driving the area to become an economic development focus in the southern region of Khanh Hoa Province.
