The project has been reviewed by the Department of Planning and Investment, now the Department of Finance, and reported to the Provincial People's Committee to balance the budget to implement the next step for medium-term investment in the period 2026-2030. Currently, QTIP is implementing the measurement and preparation of land acquisition records for phase 2 of the project.

The Quang Tri Thermal Power Plant Project was also restarted. Accordingly, on February 13, 2025, the Provincial Party Standing Committee issued Notice No. 899 agreeing to continue implementing the project and assigned the Provincial People's Committee to work with the Vietnam Electricity Group to advise and recommend competent authorities to evaluate and consider assigning Power Generation Corporation 1 to study and implement the Thermal Power Project 1 according to regulations.
