Nov 5 (Reuters) - Mitsubishi Power, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries 7011.T, said on Wednesday that it would supply equipment to a power project in Vietnam that will convert an oil-fired plant to a natural gas-fired facility.

The Japanese company will upgrade equipment at the O Mon 1 Thermal Power Plant in Can Tho, Southern Vietnam, as part of a fuel conversion project aimed at reducing emissions and allowing it to meet stricter environmental regulations in the future, Mitsubishi Power said in a statement.

The plant has two units with a capacity of 330 megawatts each. Mitsubishi did not give the estimated project cost and completion time.

The fuel conversion project is being conducted by Power Generation Corp 2, part of Vietnam Electricity Corp Group.

Mitsubishi Power is also supplying two gas turbines for the neighbouring O Mon 4 Thermal Power project, which has a capacity of 1,155 MW and is scheduled for completion in 2028.
