According to the report of the People's Committee of Cua Ong Ward, the total area reclaimed to carry out site clearance for the project is 41.12 hectares, involving many households and organizations.
The implementation process is facing difficulties because some households have not agreed with the compensation and support plan for site clearance, affecting the progress of land handover for the project; some problems in verifying the origin of the land, construction status, and tree planting before July 1, 2004.
At the meeting, Mr. Le Van Anh - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province - emphasized that the Quang Ninh LNG Power Plant project is a key project, of strategic significance in ensuring energy security and socio-economic development of the province.
Mr. Anh requested Cua Ong ward and related units to review decisions, documents, records, clearly identify the scope and ownership subjects to have solutions to completely handle the problems, ensuring compliance with legal regulations.
At the same time, Cua Ong ward and related units need to review appropriate support mechanisms, publicize compensation plans, and organize direct dialogues with people affected by the project. The units will complete all related plans and procedures in September 2025 to hand over the site for the project.
