Background

The project is listed in Revised Power Development Plant VII for the period 2027-2029. An investor has not yet been identified.[7] It was formerly a proposed 2,400-megawatt (MW) coal plant complex.

In January 2017, it was reported that the project was assigned to Vietnam Electricity (EVN), which will switch to liquified natural gas (also reported as liquified petroleum gas) in order speed up the project.[8][9]

The proposal is not listed as a priority in the draft PDP8 as of February 2021, so it's status is now shelved.[10]

In May 2023, Vietnam officially approved the updated power development plan (PDP8). Under this plan, the country will domestically generate 20% of its electricity needs with coal by 2030 and fully phase out coal-fired power stations by 2050. The plan involved increasing energy generation using coal to a peak of 30 GW and replacing all other outstanding coal projects with LNG or renewables. PDP8 listed Tan Phuoc I and Tan Phuoc II among the projects that would not move forward.[11]
