Location
The map below shows the location of Quảng Đông commune, the location where the plant will be built in Quảng Trạch district, Quảng Bình province.
Background
The Quảng Trạch Power Center is a 2,400 megawatt power station, comprising two 1,200 megawatt projects, that is under development in Quảng Bình province.[1][2]
Quảng Trạch-1
Construction began on the $1.7 billion, two-unit, 1,200-MW Quảng Trạch-1 in July 2011. The project is being developed by Vietnam's state oil and gas group PetroVietnam. Unit 1 was originally scheduled to enter into commission by June 2015, and Unit 2 by Dec. 2015.[3][4]
The project has been delayed due to the recession. As of early 2015, PetroVietnam and the provincial government were working to bring the plant online by 2020.[5]
Quảng Trạch-2
While the two-unit, 1,200-MW Quảng Trạch-2 was originally scheduled to begin construction a year after Quảng Trạch-1, the second-phase plant struggled to find investors. In September 2013, Samsung reported that it was considering taking on the project; in August 2013, Russia's Inter RAO Group reported that it was also interested in the project.[6][7]
In February 2015, Russian company Inter RAO signed a memorandum of understanding with the Quang Binh provincial government to build Quảng Trạch-2 under a build-own-transfer (BOT) scheme, at a cost of $2.4 billion. Inter RAO said it would submit a formal proposal to the provincial government by the end of March. The plant would be brought online in 2024-25.[8][5]
