Background
In 2002, Electricity of Vietnam set up Hai Phong Thermal Power Joint Stock Company (of which it is the majority owner) to construct the Hải Phòng plant.[1]
In July 2005, Japan's Marubeni Corporation and China's Dongfang Electric Corporation were awarded the construction contract for Hải Phòng 1, a two-unit, 600-MW coal power plant in Hải Phòng province, near the city of Hải Phòng.[2] In Nov. 2006, Hai Phong Thermal Power JSC signed a contract with the same two companies to construction a second two-unit, 600-MW coal power plant, Hải Phòng 2, at the same location.[3]
In late 2011, Hải Phòng 1 was completed an entered into operation. The first 300-MW unit of Hải Phòng 2 started operating in Aug. 2013, and the second is scheduled to begin operating in 2014. The cost of the entire project is $1.2 billion.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;
