As of now, many project components of the Quang Trach I TPP have achieved an implementation rate ranging from 80% to nearly 100%. Specifically, EPC Package No. 15, which includes engineering, procurement, and construction, has reached almost 86%; accumulative engineering work has achieved 99.06%; and procurement work has reached 95.15%.
Regarding construction work, the fundamental components have been completed, including the foundation and main structure of the turbine hall, boiler, transformer, chimney, coal storage, water treatment area, and the foundation treatment for the cooling water pipeline system.
The technological components are approaching completion, with the main steel structure of Boiler No. 1 reaching 94%, the boiler body at 91%, the coal mill installation at 95%, and the gas-air heater (GAH) at 90%.
Besides construction work and focusing resources on accelerating progress, Mr. Do Thanh Tai, Deputy Director of Power Project Management Board 2 (EVNPMB2), emphasized that the construction site always prioritizes safety measures. EVNPMB2 regularly conducts risk assessments before implementing construction activities, especially high-risk tasks such as working at heights, welding, or operating heavy equipment. Additionally, EVNPMB2 has intensified site inspections and strengthened safety awareness campaigns for workers. So far, the project has achieved over 10 million safe working hours.

Mr. Pham Duc Ngoc, Director of the Executive Board of Construction Corporation No. 1, stated that with the overall progress at 85.48%, the project is gradually approaching completion with key upcoming milestones, including receiving reverse power on March 31, 2025, and the first oil firing on August 30, 2025.
In the coming period, contractors will prioritize critical components such as boiler, turbine, and pipeline system installations to ensure overall progress. Throughout every stage, strict supervision is maintained to guarantee schedule adherence, quality, and workplace safety.
The Quang Trach I Thermal Power Plant project is steadily moving toward the goal of the first oil firing and synchronization of Unit 1 within 2025, as per the directive of the Prime Minister.
