{{#Badges:CoalSwarm|Navbar-Vietnamcoal}}Quảng Trạch Power Center is a 2,400-megawatt (MW) coal plant complex under development in Quảng Bình province, Vietnam.
Contents
Location
The map below shows the location of the project site, in Quảng Đông commune, 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
Groundbreaking took place on the $1.7 billion, two-unit, 1,200-MW Quảng Trạch-1 project 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] As of April 2015, Petrovietnam had only acquired 60% of the land needed for the project, holding up further development.[6]
In October 2016 state-run Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) took over the project, due to delays by PetroVietnam.[7] EVN will resume construction of Quang Trach I thermal power plant at the end of 2017, with the first turbine coming into test operation in 2021 and the second unit in 2022.[8]
As of April 2017, EVN was having problems with local villagers "encroaching" on the project site, some of whom are cultivating part of the land.[9]
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.[10][11]
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.[12][5] In April 2015, Korean firm POSCO Group announced that it wanted to join the project as a co-investor.[13]
In 2016 state-run Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) said it will replace Russian Inter RAO Group to carry out a pre-feasibility study on Quảng Trạch-2.[8] According to the revised Power Development Plan VII (2016), the project is scheduled for 2028 and 2029.[14]
