The thermal power plant will be built over 4 years with a total invested capital of more than VND33 trillion

It will have a capacity of 1,200 MW, capable of generating 8.4 billion KW/hours per year.

The plant’s first generator will be put into operation in June 2015.

Addressing the launching ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai said the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) should coordinate closely with the major investor and contractor to ensure the efficient progress of the project.
