Background
In July 2008, the Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Commerce allowed a proposal to move forward by the Thang Long Thermo-Power Joint-Stock Company to build a 600-MW coal power plant in the northern province of Quảng Ninh. The initial plan was for the first unit to come online in 2011, and the second in 2012. In December 2010, Thang Long Thermo-Power JSC signed an engineering & construction contract for the plant with a Chinese company; the cost was estimated at $645 million, and the plant was scheduled to be completed in Sept. 2014. As of April 2013, the project was under construction, and the completion date was estimated to be in 2017.
