The Cẩm Phả power station is a 600 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Vietnam.
Contents
Location
The undated satellite photo below shows the plant, which is in Cửa Ông commune, Cẩm Phả district, Quảng Ninh province.
Background
Initially conceptualized as a 260 MW plant,[1] 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 Vinacomin having a 51% interest.[2] Construction began in 2006, and was completed in Sept. 2011.[3]
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.[2]
Description of Expansion
In 2006, it was reported that, in the future, the plant's capacity "may possibly be raised to 1,200 MW."[2] Platts also reports that a Cẩm Phả Unit 3 is in development.[4] No other information on this supposed planned expansion seems to be available.
