Duc Giang - Lao Cai Chemical power station is a proposed 100-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant at the site of the Duc Giang Lao Cai chemical plant, in Lào Cai province, Vietnam.

Location
The map below shows the location of the Duc Giang Lao Cai chemical plant, in Tằng Loỏng town, Bảo Thắng district, Lào Cai province. The coal plant would power that chemical plant, and would presumably be located in or very near to this facility.
Background
On October 11, 2016, the Prime Minister issued Document No. 1778 / TTg-KTN on supplementing the coal plant into the National Power Development Plan. The proposal is to build a two-unit, 100-MW coal-fired power plant to power the Duc Giang - Lao Cai chemical plant in Lao Cai province, near the border with China.[1]
In April 2017, plant sponsor Duc Giang - Lao Cai Chemicals Joint Stock Company reported that it was breaking ground on the project. Construction is expected to take 24 months from the date of leveling, with completion expected in 2019 or 2020. According to the announcement for the ground-breaking, the plant will provide electricity for the Duc Giang Chemical Complex in Lào Cai, which produces phosphorus and other products. Currently, electricity makes up 26% of the expenses at the complex. Coal use is expected to be about 320,000 tons per year, sourced from Quang Ninh (expected type 6) or from China by waterway and road.[1]
In June 2017, Duc Giang - Lao Cai Chemicals Joint Stock Company said it planned to issue US$92 million in bonds to finance the plant. The project would be completed in 2019 or 2020.[2]
The plant is intended to be run 7,200 hours per year, generating 720 million kWh/year. Of this, 12% is self-consumption by the plant and power supply is 634 million kWh/year.[1]
Environmental impact
In May 2018 mud and soil dislodged by the construction of the plant damaged rice fields in Xuan Giao commune, Bao Thang district, Lao Cai province.[3]
