Vietnamese authorities officers stated the nation expects its coal-fired energy vegetation will function at vital ranges in 2025 to help elevated demand for electrical energy throughout the nation.
The federal government on Nov. 18 stated many of the coal-fired items will probably be on-line about 75% of the time subsequent yr, or working for six,400 to six,500 hours through the yr. Officers on Monday stated energy demand is forecast to extend in 2025 from 11% to 14% above present ranges.
Coal-fired energy era accounted for about 48.7% of Vietnam’s whole manufacturing of electrical energy this yr by means of October, in response to information from EVN, the state-run utility. The federal government in a press release stated, “The mobilization charge of coal-fired energy vegetation will stay excessive, particularly within the northern space,” subsequent yr.
The federal government stated all of the nation’s coal-fired energy vegetation might want to have their 2025 coal provide plans in place by the tip of this yr.
4 of the 5 largest thermal energy vegetation in Vietnam, in response to World Knowledge, burn coal. These 5 largest energy stations are:
- Duyen Hai Energy Plant I & III, a 2,488-MW coal-fired facility in Tra Vinh that was commissioned in 2016.
- Vinh Tan Coal Fired Energy Plant IV, a 1,800-MW coal-fired plant in Binh Thuan. It was commissioned in 2017.
- Ca Mau Mixed Cycle Energy Plant, a 1,500-MW pure gas-fired energy plant that got here on-line in 2008. It’s positioned in Ca Mau.
- Duyen Hai Energy Plant II is a 1,320-MW coal-fired facility that got here on-line in 2021. It’s positioned in Tra Vinh.
- Vinh Tan Coal Fired Energy Plant II, which entered operation in 2014. The 1,244-MW coal-fired energy plant is positioned in Binh Thuan.
