Background
Hải Phòng-1
In 2002, Electricity of Vietnam set up Hai Phong Thermal Power Joint Stock Company (of which it is the majority owner) to construct the Hải Phòng plant.[1]
In July 2005, Japan's Marubeni Corporation and China's Dongfang Electric Corporation were awarded the construction contract for Hải Phòng 1, a two-unit, 600-MW coal power plant in Hải Phòng province, near the city of Hải Phòng.[2]
Unit 1 came online in July 2011, and Unit 2 in November 2011.[3]
Hải Phòng-2
In Nov. 2006, Hai Phong Thermal Power JSC signed a contract, again with Marubeni Corporation and Dongfang Electric Corporation, to build a second two-unit, 600-MW coal power plant, Hải Phòng-2, at the same location.[4]
The first 300-MW unit of Hải Phòng 2 started operating in Aug. 2013, and the second in February 2014. The cost of the entire project was $1.2 billion.[5][3] Loans were provided by the Export-Import Bank of China and the Japan Bank for International Co-operation.[6]
Hải Phòng-3
Vietnam's 2011-20 National Master Plan for Power Development, approved in July 2011, lists a four-unit, 2,400-MW Hai Phong-3, to be built by Vinacomin. Unit 1 would come online in 2021, Unit 2 in 2022, and Units 3 & 4 in 2025.[7][8]
In March 2016, after meeting with Vietnam government officials, Thai company Ratchaburi Electricity Generating Holding (RATCH) said that it was interested in joining Vinacomin in the project.[9] In June 2019 the completion date for Unit 1 was delayed to 2028 and the completion date for Unit 2 was delayed to 2029 in the Ministry Of Industry And Trade's report on the implementation of the revised seventh Power Development Plan (PDP7).[10]
Hai Phong-3 Units 1-2 delayed, units 3-4 cancelled
According to the Revised Power Development Plan VII (2016), the status of the Hải Phòng-3 project is as follows:[11]
- Hải Phòng-3 Unit 1 - delayed until 2028 (status: "Planned with investor identified," i.e. pre-permit development)
- Hải Phòng-3 Unit 2 - delayed until 2029 (status: "Planned with investor identified," i.e. pre-permit development)
- Hải Phòng-3 Units 3 and 4 - cancelled
