A ceremony was held in Thanh Hoa province on Sunday to mark the inauguration of US$2.8 billion Nghi Son 2 thermal power plant.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) asked the prime minister to assign EVN to handle Phu My 2.2 and Phu My 3 thermal power plants once the 20-year contract terminates.

Domestic coal production is mainly used for electricity production. In 2019, domestic coal for power generation accounted for 76% of total coal output.

If Vietnam’s high-quality coal is mixed it with other types of coal to run thermopower plants, it would be a big waste, according to Vinacomin, the largest coal miner in the country.

In spite of numerous difficulties, the investors of four thermal power plant projects under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) model are rushing to start operation and begin generating power for the national grid.

The losses reported by Quang Ninh Thermal Power JSC will make it harder for State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC)  to divest the company this year.

In the first three months, EVN mobilised 2.76 billion kWh of renewable energy, including 2.31 billion kWh of solar power, signifying a 28-fold increase on-year.

 VietNamNet Bridge - Quang Tri province and the Thai International Power Company (Egati) have signed a memorandum of understanding on the construction of a thermal power plant with a total investment of $2.26 billion in Hai Lang District.
