BLCP
Location: Thailand
Operator: BLCP Power
Configuration: 2 X 717 MW
Operation: 2006-2007
Fuel: bituminous coal
Boiler supplier: MHI
T/G supplier: MHI, Melco
EPC: MHI, Jurong Engineering
Quick facts: In Dec 1997, BLCP Power Ltd (BLCP) secured a 25yr Phase I
Stage 2 PPA with EGAT for a new power station at Map Ta Phut Industrial
Estate Phase 2. The original development consortium formed in 1995 and
included Banpu, Loxley, and PowerGen plc, and RTZ-CRA. RTZ and Loxely
pulled out in 1998. PowerGen sold out to CLP in 2001/02 and CLP sold its
50% stake to EGCO in Oct 2006. Fuel is Australian bituminous coal. The
plant was permitted in Feb 2002, financial close was in Aug 2003,
foundation stone laying was in Mar 2004, and the first unit was
synchronized in Apr 2006. BLCP has an ESP, saltwater FGD scrubber, and low
Nox burners. The stack is 200m tall. The plant is grid-connected through
the 500kV Rayong-4 substation. Total capex for the project was about
$1.3bn.

Cao Ngan
Location: Vietnam
Operator: Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industries Group
Configuration: 2 X 50 MW
Operation: 2006
Fuel: anthracite
Boiler supplier: Alstom
T/G supplier: Harbin
EPC: Harbin, Lilama, Vinaincom, PECC1
Quick facts: In May 2002, Harbin Power Engineering won the contract for this IPP on the Cau River in Thai Nguyen province 80km north of Hanoi.
China Export-Import Bank provided a $85.5mn soft loan for the $123mn
project. Anthracite is supplied from the Khanh Hoa and Nui Hong mines and
transported by rail to a stockpile at Quan Trieu station and from there to
the plant by conveyor where it is burned in CFB boilers. Construction started in Nov 2002 and
Unit-1 was
connected in Feb 2006, a little behind schedule.

Mae Moh
Location: Thailand
Operator: Electricity Generating Auth of Thailand
Configuration: 3 X 75 MW, 4 X 150 MW, 6 X 300 MW
Operation: 1978-1995
Fuel: lignite
Boiler supplier: B&W, CE
T/G supplier: Tosi, Elin, Fuji
Quick facts: EGAT runs its own mining operations at
Mae Moh which supply about 15mn tpy of lignite. EGAT has completed an
extensive program of back-end pollution control equipment retrofits at Mae
Moh and laid up the oldest and smallest units. MHI FGD scrubbers were
installed from the outset on Units 12&13 and Noell retrofit wet limestone
FGDs on the other three 300-MW sets from Sep 1997 to Apr 1998. ABB and
Marubeni then added FGDs to the 150-MW units with completion in Feb
2000. In addition, various boiler modifications were made to reduce NOX emissions.

Pha Lai-2
Location: Vietnam
Operator: Electricity of Vietnam
Configuration: 2 X 300 MW
Operation: 2001
Fuel: anthracite
Boiler supplier: Mitsui Babcock
T/G supplier: GE
EPC: Pacific Power, Electric Power Development
Corp, TransGrid, Sumitomo, Stone & Webster, Hyundai
Quick facts: Originally planned as a BOT plant, Pha Lai-2 was eventually built as an
EVN project per a $560mn EPC award in Mar 1998. The site is 65km northeast
of Hanoi in Hai Duong province. OECF provided funding support. The local
anthracite coal is a difficult fuel with an ash content of 27-33% and an
average volatile matter content of less than 5%. Despite the fuel’s
low-sulfur content (0.5-0.7%), the plant has an FGD system from Marsulex removing 90% of the SO2 from
85% of the flue gas. Construction started in Jun 1998 and the first 300-MW
unit went online ahead of schedule in Oct 2001, followed by the second
unit in Dec. Total investment is about $640mn.

Uong Bi-7
Location: Vietnam
Operator: Uong Bi Thermal Power Co
Configuration: 1 X 300 MW
Operation: 2007
Fuel: anthracite
Boiler supplier: Taganrog
T/G supplier: LMZ, Electrosila
EPC: Ekono, Lilama, Zagranenergostroymontazh
Quick facts: In May 2002, initial construction work got underway on this
extension to the Uong Bi power station 150km east of Hanoi in Quang Ninh
province. In Jul 2002, Electrowatt-Ekono was awarded a €11.2mn contract
for project management and initial engineering and in May 2003, Lilama was
awarded a $267mn EPC contract for the project. In June 2003, Power
Machines Group received an $83mn order for the main generating equipment
and, in Dec 2003, Kawasaki received a ¥2bn order for a wet limestone FGD
scrubber for the new unit. JBIC supplied some of the funding for the
$305mn project, which went commercial on 18 Dec 2006. Some 800,000 tpy of
anthracite from the Vang Danh mine is expected to be used to produce 1.8
TWh/yr. A second 300-MW set is planned
