Background
The four-unit Ninh Bình power station (4 x 25 MW) is owned by Ninh Binh Thermal Power JSC, a subsidiary of Electricity of Vietnam. It is located in Ninh Bình city. The plant was built in 1974; it was one of the first power plants in Vietnam.[1][2]
Description of Expansion
Ninh Bình II was a proposed second 330-MW coal-fired plant at this site. The project was given environmental approval in October 2004. In 2005, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation gave a $746 million loan to the Vietnamese government, part of which was intended to be used to build Ninh Bình II. However, in July 2007, after the province rejected the proposed expansion, the Vietnamese government decided to move the project to Thai Binh province, where it became the first unit of the Thai Binh Power Center. The Ninh Bình II proposal was subsequently dropped.[3][4][5]
