- Coal source(s): An Khanh mine, Vietnam
Financing
- Source of financing: US$143 million in debt from the Bank of China, China Exim Bank, China Construction Bank and the China Bank of Communications;[1] US$25 million in equity from An Khanh Electricity;[2] US$25 million in debt from the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam[3]
Background
An Khánh-1
The investment certificate was granted to the plant's developer, An Khánh Thermo-Power Joint Stock Company, for two 58-MW units, An Khánh-1 Units 1 and 2, by the Thái Nguyên province’s People’s Committee in August 2009. Ground was broken on the construction project in January 2010. The first unit was initially scheduled to come online in 2011, and the second in 2012, for a total cost of $160 million. The plant was the first in Thái Nguyên province to be initiated by a private enterprise. It appears to be a mine-to-mouth plant.[4] The company has also signed agreements with two coal mines in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, in order to ensure ongoing supply.[5]
Unit 1 was completed and connected to the national grid in April 2015.[6] The entire plant was inaugurated in October.[7] Units 1 & 2 are listed as 50 MW each under revised Power Development Plan VII[8]
In August 2023, an article described that trucks delivering coal to An Khanh power station were routinely overloaded and left uncovered, causing spillage and environmental pollution.[9]
In October 2023, a trial was held regarding 375 billion VND in profits made from the illegal mining of 3 million tons of coal at Minh Tien coal mine. 88,492 tons, worth 67.648 billion VND, had reportedly been sold to An Khanh power station.[10]
Financing for An Khánh-1
On December 22, 2011,[3] a financing agreement for An Khánh-1 was closed. US$143 million in loans was provided by the Bank of China, China Exim Bank, China Construction Bank and the China Bank of Communications.[1] US$25 million in equity was provided by An Khanh Electricity.[2]
On December 26, 2011, a second financing agreement was signed. The Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam agreed to provide a US$25 million loan for the project.[3]
An Khánh-2
In July 2010, An Khánh Thermo-Power JSC submitted construction plans for An Khánh-2, an additional 300-MW unit at the same site, at an expected cost of $530 million. Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng approved the second unit in July 2011; the second unit's construction license followed in October.[11] The second unit is scheduled to be completed in 2016.[4][12] As of May 2015, work on An Khánh-2 was apparently still being held up, however.[13] In the Power Development Plan VII, revised in March 2016, this project was listed as cancelled.[8]
