Location
The map below shows the location of Tân Thành district, the approximate location where the plant would be built in Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu province.

Background
In May 2007, Japanese power utility Electricity Power Development Company, or J-POWER, announced plans to build a coal-fired power plant of either 1,200 or 2,400 MW in the highly industrialized Tân Thành district of Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu province. The district is already home to the 3,900-MW natural gas-fired Phú Mỹ power plant complex. Additional news since then is not available, and it is unclear whether J-POWER is still pursuing the project; it is also unclear whether the project is related to J-POWER's proposed Phu Yen power station.
