| − | Initially conceptualized as a 260 MW plant,<ref>[http://www.edf.org/documents/9584_coal-plants-spreadsheet.xls "Coal-Fired Plants Financed by International Public Investment Institutions Since 1994"], Appendix to ''Foreclosing the Future: Coal, Climate and International Public Finance: Investment in coal-fired power plants hinders the fight against global warming'', Environmental Defense, April 2009.</ref> the first phase was upgraded to comprise to a 600MW generating plant comprising two 300MW boilers. The project is owned by the Cẩm Phả Thermal-power Joint-Stock Company, with [[Vinacoal|Vinacomin]] having a 51% interest.<ref name="Build">[http://archive.is/PIXD9 "Construction of Cam Pha Thermal-power Plant starts"], April 17, 2006.</ref> Construction began in 2006, and was completed in Sept. 2011.<ref>[http://businesstimes.com.vn/cam-pha-thermo-power-plant-no-12-officially-handed-over/ Cam Pha Thermo Power Plant No 1&2 Officially Handed Over], ''Business Times'', Sept. 17, 2011.</ref>

| − | The project is designed to use coal dust and slurry coal as fuel, with a news report stating that the first phase would consume approximately 1 million tons of coal per year from Cửa Ông Coal Company. The total cost of the first phase was estimated at US$349 million. The Haerbin Power Project Co. Ltd. from China was awarded a $265 million construction contract for part of the project. [[Electricity of Vietnam]], a government owned electricity utility, has signed a contract to buy the Cẩm Phả plant's output for 25 years.<ref name="Build"/>
