Background
In July 2008, the Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Commerce allowed a proposal to move forward by the Thang Long Thermo-Power Joint-Stock Company to build a 600-MW coal power plant in the northern province of Quảng Ninh. The initial plan was for the first unit to come online in 2011, and the second in 2012.[1]
In December 2010, Thang Long Thermo-Power JSC signed an engineering & construction contract for the plant with Chinese company Wuhan Kaidi Electric Power Engineering[2]; the cost was estimated at $645 million, and the plant was scheduled to be completed in Sept. 2014.[3][4]
Construction began in October 2014, and is scheduled to be completed in Q3 2018.[5] In August 2015, French firm Alstom was awarded the contract to supply the plant's circulating-fluidized-bed boilers.[2] In June 2017, plans were finalized to build a 500 kV power line to connect the plant to the grid.[6]
Unit 1 entered commercial operation in May 2018 and Unit 2 entered commercial operation in July 2018.[7][8]
