The Quang Trach 1 is a 1.2GW coal-fired power plant under construction in the Quang Bình province of Vietnam.

Vietnam’s state-owned power utility Vietnam Electricity (EVN) is developing the project with an estimated investment of £1.26bn ($1.78bn).

PetroVietnam was the previous developer, which broke ground on the project in July 2011 with commissioning scheduled in 2015. The Government of Vietnam, however, assigned the project to EVN in October 2016, due to slow implementation by PetroVietnam.

Scheduled for commissioning by 2025, the two coal-fired units of the Quang Trach 1 power plant are expected to generate up to 8.4 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity a year.
