Quang Trach Power Center develops major energy infrastructure in Vietnam

The Quang Trach Power Center in Phu Trach, Quang Tri province, is expanding into a major energy hub with a planned capacity of approximately 4,500 MW. Developed by Vietnam Electricity (EVN), the center includes shared infrastructure such as a coal import port capable of receiving 100,000-ton vessels, scheduled to open in October 2026.

Quang Trach 1 Thermal Power Plant, which features two units with a total capacity of 1,403 MW, has synchronized with the national grid and is currently undergoing testing and calibration. The plant has already supplied over 703 million kWh to the grid, with commercial operation expected by the end of 2026. The project involves an adjusted investment of over 42,022 billion VND.

Further developments include the Quang Trach 2 LNG Thermal Power Plant, which commenced construction on October 20, 2026, with a capacity of 1,612.8 MW and an investment exceeding 40,123 billion VND. It is expected to reach commercial operation by 2030. Additionally, EVN is selecting an EPC contractor for the Quang Trach 3 LNG plant, which has a projected capacity of 1,500 MW and a target commercial operation date in the first quarter of 2031.
