This Ministry also proposed the Prime Minister to assign the Ministry of Industry and Trade once every 6 months to review the approved power projects in the Power Planning VII, the Adjusted Power Master Plan VII and the Electricity Master Plan VIII and other related plannings. The authority is valid from 2022.


Accordingly, if the projects in the approved master plans are more than 24 months behind in the first review in 2022, they will adjust and push back the project's power generation period to the next 5-year cycle.


As for projects that have not yet been selected or assigned an investor, the Ministry proposes: Within 12 months from the date of approval of the planning, the People's Committee of the province must carry out the procedures for formulation and approval. investment policies or report to competent authorities for approval of investment policies, organize the selection of investors to implement the project in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Law and the Bidding Law.
