An Khánh power station is a 100-megawatt (MW) coal plant in Thái Nguyên province, Vietnam.

Location
This undated satellite photo below shows the plant site, which is in An Khánh commune, Dai Tu district, Thái Nguyên province. The plant appears to be a mine-to-mouth plant, with coal coming from the nearby Khánh Hòa coal mine.
Background
An Khánh-1
The investment certificate was granted to the plant's developer, An Khánh Thermo-Power Joint Stock Company, for two 58-MW units, An Khánh-1 Units 1 and 2, by the Thái Nguyên province’s People’s Committee in August 2009. Ground was broken on the construction project in January 2010. The first unit was initially scheduled to come online in 2011, and the second in 2012, for a total cost of $160 million. The plant was the first in Thái Nguyên province to be initiated by a private enterprise. It appears to be a mine-to-mouth plant.[1] The company has also signed agreements with two coal mines in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, in order to ensure ongoing supply.[2]
Unit 1 was completed and connected to the national grid in April 2015.[3] The entire plant was inaugurated in October.[4] Units 1 & 2 are listed as 50 MW each under revised Power Development Plan VII[5]
An Khánh-2
In July 2010, An Khánh Thermo-Power JSC submitted construction plans for An Khánh-2, an additional 300-MW unit at the same site, at an expected cost of $530 million. Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng approved the second unit in July 2011; the second unit's construction license followed in October.[6] The second unit is scheduled to be completed in 2016.[1][7] As of May 2015, work on An Khánh-2 was apparently still being held up, however.[8] In the Power Development Plan VII, revised in March 2016, this project was listed as cancelled.[5]
