details on project
==Background==
In June 2017, Duc Giang - Lao Cai Chemicals Joint Stock Company announced plans to build a two-unit, 100-MW coal-fired power plant to power the Duc Giang - Lao Cai chemical plant in Lao Cai province, near the border with China. The company planned to issue $92 million in bonds to finance the plant. The project would be completed in 2019 or 2020.<ref>[http://vietnambiz.vn/hoa-chat-duc-giang-lao-cai-khoi-dong-ke-hoach-goi-von-2000-ty-dong-cho-du-an-nhiet-dien-23686.html Hóa chất Đức Giang - Lào Cai khởi động kế hoạch gọi vốn 2.000 tỷ đồng cho dự án nhiệt điện], VietnamBiz, 12 June 2017.</ref>
The plant is intended to be run 7,200 hours per year, generating 720 million kWh/year. Of this, 12% is self-consumption by the plant and power supply is 634 million kWh/year.<ref name=April>[http://ducgiangchem.vn/le-dong-tho-du-an-nha-may-nhiet-dien-duc-giang-lao-cai-100mw.html "LỄ ĐỘNG THỔ DỰ ÁN NHÀ MÁY NHIỆT ĐIỆN ĐỨC GIANG – LÀO CAI 100MW,"] DGC website, 3 April 2017,</ref>

In April 2017, the company reported that it was breaking ground for the project. According to the announcement for the ground-breaking, the plant will provide electricity for the Duc Giang Chemical Complex in Lào Cai, which produces phosphorus and other products. Currently, electricity makes up 26% of the expenses at the complex.<ref name=April/>
Coal use is expected to be about 320,000 tons per year, sourced from Quang Ninh (expected type 6) or from China by waterway and road.<ref name=April/>
