At the operation room of the Nghi Son 1 Thermal Power Plant (Source: VNA) The Nghi Son 1 Thermal Power Plant ensured electricity supply for the northern central region, especially the Nghi Son Economic Zone, over the past nine months.
Nguyen Huu Thinh, Deputy Director of the Nghi Son 1 Thermal Company, said the plant provided 2 billion kWh to the national power grid in January-September.
The figure is projected to stand at 839 million kWh in the last quarter of this year, targeting 2.8 billion kWh set for the whole year, Thinh said.
Currently, the coal-fueled plant is using cutting-edge technologies to ensure environmental protection in line with domestic and international standards.
Sitting on an area of 350 hectares in the Nghi Son Economic Zone in the central province of Thanh Hoa, the plant officially joined the nation power network in October 2013.
The plant’s two turbines, each with a capacity of 300 MW, contribute nearly 200 billion VND (9 billion USD) to the State budge annually.
Together with the Nghi Son 2 Thermal Power Plant, the project, invested by the Electricity of Vietnam, is included in the national electricity development plan for 2011-2020 with a vision towards 2030 ratified by the Prime Minister.-VNA
