The MONRE requires Delta Offshore Energy - the project owner - to publicly post the decision approving the environmental impact assessment report following the law and strictly implement requirements for environmental protection.

The Bac Lieu LNG-fired Power Plant has a total investment of VND93.6 trillion (about US$4 billion). It is currently the largest foreign direct investment project in the Mekong Delta. It is a key project, which plays the role of creating motivation to transform the economic structure of Bac Lieu Province.
