'''Duyên Hải Power Generation Complex''' is a 4,400 megawatt (MW) coal-fired complex that is under development in rural Trà Vinh province, Vietnam.
 
 
 
==Location==
 
The project is located in the Duyên Hải Power Generation Complex, in the Duyên Hải district of Trà Vinh province.<ref>[http://www.spinwellglobal.com/fichtner/projects.html "Fichtner Projects,"] Spinwell Global website, accessed November 2013</ref> The map below shows the location as identified in Wikimapia.<ref name=wikimapia>[http://bit.ly/17zPkwG "nhà máy nhiệt điện Duyên Hải 3 (2x622MW),"] Wikimapia, accessed November 2013</ref>

==Background==
 
 
 
The planned power plant complex would be made up of three separate coal-fired power plants: Duyên Hải 1, 2, and 3.
 
 
 
The 1,245-MW [[Duyen Hai 1 Thermal Power Plant|Duyên Hải 1]] is a project of [[Vietnam Electricity Group]] (the successor company of the state-owned power monopoly) and the Chinese [[Dongfeng Group]], and will cost $1.6 billion. Duyên Hải 1 broke ground in Sept. 2010.<ref name="Duyen1">[http://www.vnbusinessreg.com/thermal-power-plant-built-tra-vinh/ "New thermal power plant built in Tra Vinh"], ''Vietnam Business Register'', accessed Jan. 2014.</ref> The two 622-MW units are both expected to enter service in July 2015.<ref>Dong, Minh.

The 1,200-MW [[Duyen Hai 2 Thermal Power Plant|Duyên Hải 2]] is a project of the Malaysian company Teknik Janakuasa, a subsidiary of the [[MMC Corporation Berhad]], and will cost $1.5 billion.<ref name="Duyen2">[http://vietnamnews.vn/economy/business-beat/184129/power-plant-project-signs-on-consultant.html "Power plant project signs on consultant"], ''Viêt Nam News'', Jan. 8, 2009.</ref> In April 2011, Janakuasa signed Chinese company Huadian Engineering to take the lead in construction.<ref>[http://cafef.vn/trang-chu/news-20110420102550990ca0.chn Công ty Huadian Engineering của Trung Quốc đã hỗ trợ Janakasa tới 1,59 tỷ USD để thực hiện dự án này], Cafe F, April 20, 2011.</ref> In 2009, Janakuasa stated that construction would begin in 2010-11, and the plant would be completed in 2014; there has not been any news on the plant since 2011, however, and it is unclear whether or not the plant is being constructed currently.
 
 
 
The 1,245-MW Duyên Hải 3 is a project of a consortium of Chinese companies: [[Chengda Engineering]], [[Dongfang Electric Corporation]], the Southwest Electric Power Design Institute (SWEPDI) (a subsidiary of the [[China Energy Engineering Group]]), and [[Zhejiang Electric Power Construction]]. The project will cost $1.5 billion, and broke ground in Sept. 2010. The plant is slated to begin operation in early 2015.<ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/05/vietnam-energy-plant-idAFL3E7J541T20110805 Chinese Firms Get $1.3 bln Power Plant Deal in Vietnam], Reuters, Aug. 5, 2011.</ref>
 
 
 
In April 2013, construction began on a $280 million coal seaport for the power complex. The seaport is being built by [[China Communications Construction]], and is expected to be completed in late 2015; it will be capable of handling 12 million tons of coal per year for consumption at the complex's three power plants.<ref>[http://vietnamnews.vn/economy/238453/construction-starts-on-duyen-hai-seaport.html Construction Starts on Duyen Hai Seaport], ''Viêt Nam News'', April 22, 2013.</ref>
 
 
 
News reports have stated that the complex will have a power generating capacity of 4,400 MW; however, the three plants listed total 3,690 MW. It is unclear where the remaining 710 MW would come from.
