The O Mon Power Complex is a 660 MW fuel oil-fired power station in Can Tho Province, Vietnam. The power station also has three proposed gas-burning combined cycle units totaling 3,150 MW, and the fuel-oil units are scheduled to be switched to natural gas, which would ultimately bring the total gas-fired capacity to 3,810 MW.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the power station in O Mon, Can Tho Province, Vietnam.
Background
The power station comprises four power plants. The O Mon 1 plant, which has a capacity of 660 MW, is already operational. O Mon 2, 3, and 4 are proposed.
O Mon I currently relies on fuel oil but will be switched to domestic natural gas in 2021.[1] The February 2021 draft PDP8 revised that year to 2024.[2]
In May 2019, VietnamNet reported that EVN was having difficulty arranging capital for this project.[3]
O Mon 2
O Mon 2 is a proposed 1,050-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant. It will be built in the O Mon Power Center alongside O Mon 1 Thermal Power Plant and the proposed O Mon 3 and O Mon 4 power stations.[4][5]
Two investors sent proposals to the Ministry of Industry and Trade -- EVNGENCO2 (Vietnam Electricity Corporation) and Vietracimex (Marubeni Corporation) to build the power plant. In May 2019, Ministry of Industry and Trade recommended Vietracimex Joint Venture - Marubeni Group, which had begun operating many projects successfully in 2019, to the Prime Minister.[6][7]
In mid-2019, the Prime Minister and Ministry of Trade discussed increasing the output of the plant from 750 MW to 1,050 MW and having it begin operations in 2025.[5][8]
In February 2021, IJGlobal reported that Vietracimex and Marubeni had received approval to proceed with the project following a decision by Vietnam's prime minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in January 2021 backing the investment planning for the project.[9] The output of the project was confirmed as 1,050 MW and the companies are expecting the plant to commence operations in 2024-2025. The total project cost is about 30.56 trillion Vietnamese dong (US$1.33 billion). The Vietracimex - Marubeni consortium is planning to raise equity of approximately 6.11 trillion Vietnamese dong and finance the remaining 24.45 trillion Vietnamese dong with commercial loans.[10]
As of the February 2021 draft PDP8, O Mon 2 has established a feasibility study.[2]
O Mon 3
O Mon 3 is a proposed 1,050-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant in Can Tho Province, Vietnam.[4][11][12]
As of the February 2021 draft PDP8, O Mon 3 is in loan negotiations.[2]
O Mon 4
O Mon 4 is a proposed 1,050-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant.[4][11][12]
In September 2019, the People's Committee of Can Tho City requested comments on the feasibility study report of O Mon IV Thermal Power Plant project from the State Capital Management Committee.[13]
As of the February 2021 draft PDP8, O Mon 4 is under construction.[2]
