Location
The map below shows the location of Hải Khê commune, the approximate location where the plant would be built, in Hải Lăng district, Quảng Trị province.
Quảng Trị-1
In August 2013, Quảng Trị provincial officials announced that the company Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) had been licensed to build a $2.3 billion, 1,200-MW, two-unit coal-fired power plant in the Quang Tri Southeast Economic Zone. The project was originally scheduled to come online in 2019-20.[1]
The company signed a memorandum of understanding with the Quang Tri provincial government in July 2014. Financial arrangements and land acquisition had not yet been completed at that time. The plant is being built under a build-own-transfer (BOT) scheme. Construction was scheduled to begin at the end of 2017; the first unit would go online in June 2021, and the second in December 2021.[2][3]
According to the revised Power Development Plan VII (2016), the project will be completed in 2023 and 2024.[4]
EGAT completed a feasibility study in July 2016; that feasibility study was later approved by the Ministry of Industry & Trade.[5] In February 2017, EGAT said it planned to begin construction in mid-2019. The project would cost $2.2 billion.[6] In February, provincial officials pushed EGAT to begin construction in 2018.[7] In June 2017, EGAT said it would indeed begin construction in 2018.[8]
On June 24, 2017, Quang Ninh Thermal Power Plant (EGATi) and the Department of Energy (MOIT) signed an a Memorandum of Understanding on the BOT project. According to the MoU, Units 1 and 2 will be put into commercial operation in 2021.[9]
In December 2018 EGAT announced that construction had been delayed but that it planned to begin by September 2019.[10] In June 2019 the completion date for Unit 1 was delayed to 2026 and the completion date for Unit 2 was delayed to 2027 in the Ministry Of Industry And Trade's report on the implementation of the revised seventh Power Development Plan (PDP7).[11]
In November 2019 a ground-breaking ceremony for the plant was held and a 23.5-km road connecting the Quảng Trị Southeastern Industrial Park with Cửa Việt Port was inaugurated.[12]
Quảng Trị-2
In November 2016, KEPCO announced that it was looking at the possibility of building a second phase of the plant.[13] In January 2017, Korea Western Power Co., a subsidiary of KEPCO, signed an agreement with Quảng Trị provincial officials to build the 1,200-MW, two-unit Quảng Trị-2. The project would cost $1.85 billion, and would be completed by the end of 2024.[14]
In October 2018 the CEO of Korea Western Power said the company would abide by international standards in developing the Quảng Trị-2 plant, and will consider converting the project into renewable power.[15] In January 2019 it was reported that a plan for a 2 x 600 MW Quảng Trị-2 plant had been submitted to the MOIT.[16]
