Location
The map below shows the approximate location where the plant is being built in near Phuc Thanh and Quang Trung communes, Kinh Môn district.

Background
In Sept. 2011, construction broke ground on a 1,200-MW coal power plant in Hải Dương province. The plant is being built by Malaysian company JAKS Resources for $2.25 billion; one 600-MW unit is expected to be completed in late 2016, and the second in 2017. The plant will use coal supplied by Vinacomin. In August 2013, the Vietnamese Minister of Industry & Trade pushed the contractors working on the plant, as well as provincial officials, to both accelerate the pace of work in order to finish according to schedule, and to ensure that planned local social and environmental mitigation projects are in fact built.
