The plant has two turbines with a combined capacity of 1,200 MW and was built at a cost of VND36 trillion (US$1.58 billion).
In full operation, it is expected to generate about 7.2 billion kWh each year. It is the first large-scale coal-fueled thermal power plant in Viet Nam using the supercritical steam generator.
The plant is also hoped to contribute to socio-economic development in the South Central Region and raise the stability and economic operation of the national grid.
