The VND34 trillion ($1.59 billion) Quang Trach 1 thermo-power plant, invested by the Viet Nam National Oil and Gas Group, was launched in Vinh Son hamlet, Quang Dong commune, Quang Trach district in September 2011.
The 1,200 MW plant was scheduled to be completed within four years but its progress has been delayed due to unforeseen economic recession.
The province and the Viet Nam National Oil and Gas Group are working to tackle difficulties to make the plant become operational by 2020.-
