Background
Construction of the project began in November 2005 and Vinacomin invested nearly VND4 trillion to build the plant. Although archival photography on Google Earth shows that construction on the project was completed before February 2010, an October 2016 news report in 2016 states that the Vinacomin was directed to finish the test run of the plant and generate power for the national grid "by the second quarter" in order to ensure power supply in the dry season. According to the October 2016 article, a "test run" of the generators was begun in "November." The article further stated that the plant would consume 700,000 tons of coal per year from a coal mine in Dong Ri hamlet with a reserve of 100 million tons.[2]
The project was built by Shanghai Electric Power Construction using Chinese credit loan and Chinese equipment.[3]
Two dams and pumping stations on Dong Ri River and Neoc Vang River supply cooling water for the plant.[4]
