Located in Vinh Son village, Quang Dong commune, Quang Trach district, the Quang Trach thermo-power plant is built on an area of 199.3ha of land and 100ha on sea. The plant has a total investment capital of over US$1.7 billion with a capacity of 2,400 MW per day (including two turbines with a capacity of 1.200 MW/turbine).

When fully operational, the plant will be expected to supply about 8.4 billion kWh each year for the national grid and contribute VND1,200 - 1,500 billion to local budget.

Under the plan, the plan will be expected to begin generating power for the first in June 2015 and the second in December 2015.
