Background
Na Dương Unit 1, a 100-MW coal-fired power plant owned by Vinacomin, began construction in April 2002, and was completed in 2005. The mine-to-mouth plant uses coal from the nearby Na Dương coal mine.

In December 2009, Vinacomin signed a memorandum of understanding with Japan's Marubeni Corporation for the construction of a second 100-MW unit at Na Dương.

As of early 2013, Vinacomin stated that Na Dương Unit 2 is still part of their business plan. It is unclear whether this unit is still in development or under construction.
