Background

Appendix II of Vietnam's 2011-20 National Master Plan for Power Development, approved in July 2011, lists two coal-fired power plants totaling 3,200 MW in Bình Định province: the two-unit, 1,200-MW Than Bình Định-1, to be constructed by 2026-27; and the two-unit, 2,000-MW Than Bình Định-2, to be constructed by 2029.[1]

In April 2015, representatives of Thai companies Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), STFE Company, and KST Energy Development met with Bình Định provincial officials and expressed interest in the project. A Thai conglomerate including some of the same companies is already planning to build an oil refinery in Bình Định.[2]

Revised Power Development Plan VII

According to PDP7, all phases of the project have been cancelled.[3]
