Dong Nai : Waste-to-energy project has not completed feasibility study report after 2 years

The nearly 2,300 billion VND waste-to-energy plant project in Vinh Cuu district has not completed its feasibility study report for nearly 2 years, so an investor has not been selected.

According to the progress update report of the Department of Planning and Investment of Dong Nai, up to now, the Feasibility Study Report of the Vinh Tan Waste-to-Energy Project in Vinh Cuu District has not been completed, the progress is about 2 months behind the plan of the Provincial People's Committee.

The two most difficult problems in this project are that the detailed 1/500 planning of Vinh Cuu district has not been completed; the environmental impact assessment report submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment for appraisal has not been approved.

Due to problems with planning and environmental impact assessment reports, the selection of investors is also slow.
