On 18 September 2023, after nearly 8 years since the first generation unit was connected to the national power grid, Vinh Tan 2 Thermal Power Plant managed and operated by Vinh Tan Thermal Power Company (a unit under EVNGENCO3) reached the cumulative power output milestone of 60 billion kWh, making an important contribution to power supply for socio-economic development of Binh Thuan province and the South Central provinces, contributing to ensuring national energy security.
Vinh Tan Thermal Power Company is currently managing and operating Vinh Tan 2 Thermal Power Plant with a capacity of 1,244MW (2x622MW) and Vinh Tan Solar Power Plant with a capacity of 42.65MWp. During the past years, Vinh Tan Thermal Power Company has always implemented proactively and synchronously optimal solutions, ensuring safe - continuous - economic fuel and power production, while protecting the environment.
Especially during the peak periods of the dry season, when load demand increases highly and the power supply situation is tense, Vinh Tan 2 Thermal Power Plant always responds well to the mobilization method of the national power system dispatching level, contributing to ensuring energy security, successfully completing the power supply urgent task for socio-economic development of the South Central provinces.
Vinh Tan 2 Thermal Power Plant
Vinh Tan Thermal Power Company has improved equipment, converted oil burning from HFO to DO oil; improved the ESP electrostatic precipitator system and put it into operation from the beginning to improve the environment, no more black smoke at startup; promoted the successful test and operated mixed coal combustion to help proactively source fuel, reduce the fuel volume generated and improve the quality of ash and slag of the plant. Along with that, the unit continues the project to improve operating efficiency, reduce heat loss rate, reduce self-consumption of power, and promote ash and slag consumption.
In the first 8 months of 2023 alone, the generated power output of Vinh Tan 2 Thermal Power Plant is 5.265 billion kWh (reaching 66.6% of the yearly plan). Most of the economic-technical indicators such as incident rate, self-consumption of power, heat loss rate, etc. have reached the plan assigned by Power Generation Corporation 3, the generation units are always available, supply adequate coal fuel, and ensure meet the mobilization method of the National Power System Dispatch Center. Environmental protection continues to be guaranteed, more than 83% of the ash and slag generated by Vinh Tan 2 Thermal Power Plant has been consumed.
The plant is surrounded by green, clean, and beautiful landscape
