Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has received an order for core power generation equipment, including a steam turbine and boiler, to be installed in the 330 MW Unit 2 of the O Mon 1 Thermal Power Plant currently under construction by Can Tho Thermal Power, a subsidiary of Vietnam Electricity (EVN). MHI received the order from a consortium formed by Sojitz (Japan) and Daelim (South Korea), the EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contractor for Unit 2's construction. MHI will deliver the steam turbine to Sojitz and the boiler to Daelim. Unit 2 is slated to go on-stream in 2015. The O Mon 1 Thermal Power Plant is located along the Mekong River in southern Vietnam, approximately 20 kilometers North of Can Tho City. Construction of Unit 2, a project to expand the existing power plant following construction of Unit 1, for which MHI received a full-turnkey order in late 2005, is part of Vietnam's initiative to modernize the Mekong Delta region. O Mon will burn gas and oil. As with Unit 1, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will furnish yen credit to fund the construction project.
