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

Fuel: anthracite
Boiler supplier: Dongfang
T/G supplier: Fuji
EPC: Marubeni, Dongfang, Guangxi Power Construction
Quick facts: In Oct 2002, EVN set-up Hai Phong Thermal Power JSC to
develop the 600-MW Hai Phong-II plant in Tam Hung commune, Thuy Nguyen
district. The development company is owned by EVN (77.5%), Vinacoal (10%),
Lilama (5%), Vinaconex (5%), and BAOVIET (2.5%). In Mar 2005, four
state-owned banks and BAOVIET, formerly Vietnam Insurance Co, agreed
$125.3mn in loans for Hai Phong II. The banks included Agribank, BIDV, the
lead loan coordinator, Incombank, and Vietcombank. JBIC is making a $66mn

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.
