Background

In May 2008, Viet-Trung Electricity Joint Stock Company announced that it would build a $125 million, 100-MW coal-fired power plant near the Khánh Hòa coal mining field. Subsequent announcements regarding this plant are not available; it is possible that Viet-Trung Electricity JSC's proposal was superseded by that of An Khánh Thermo-Power JSC, which is currently building the 100-MW An Khanh-1 power plant on a site near the Khánh Hòa coal mine.
