With a designed capacity of 750 MW, the facility was estimated at needing around eight to nine years of commercial operation to reach that level of output. However, its automatic run at 80 percent of the total load on average has ensured the maximum mobilisation of power productivity.
The outstanding productivity has greatly contributed to supplying electricity for key economic areas in the southern region, like Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, and Ba Ria - Vung Tau.
The plant, fueled by natural gas, began commercial operation in late 2011. With three turbines, it is designed to churn out an average of 4.5 billion kWh each year.
