Background
In Jan. 2012, Sembcorp announced an initial agreement with the Quảng Ngãi provincial government for its plans to build a 1,200-MW coal power plant in the Dung Quat Economic Zone.[1] In May 2013, Sembcorp announced that the proposed plant had been incorporated by the Vietnamese government into its ten-year national power development plan, signaling government approval of the project; Sembcorp signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Vietnam's Ministry of Industry & Trade in Sept. 2013.[2] The plant is expected to come online in 2020-21, and would cost nearly $2 billion.[3]
Switched to gas
Under Power Development Plan VII, revised in March 2016, this project will use gas rather than coal. [4]
