The Vinh Tan 2 plant is one of three at the Vinh Tan Electric Centre under the national electric development plan for the 2006-2015 period which was approved by the Prime Minister with total investment capital of nearly VND23,500 billion. It has a design capacity of more than 1,240mw and can generate around 7.2 million Kwh.
