MHI Receives Full-turnkey Order from Electricity of Vietnam for 330 MW Thermal Power Plant.Tokyo, Japan, Feb 17, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) Newswire) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI MHI Manufactured Housing Institute MHI Montreal Heart Institute (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) MHI Median Household Income MHI Main Hawaiian Islands MHI Material Handling Institute ) has received a full-turnkey order from Electricity of Vietnam (EVN EVN Yerevan, Armenia (Airport Code) EVN Escape Velocity: Nova (computer game) EVN Energie Versorgung Niederösterreich AG EVN Eurovision News Exchange EVN Engineering Variation Notice EVN Every Voice Network ), Vietnam's public electricity corporation headquartered in Hanoi, for the construction of O Mon Thermal Power Plant. The plant will have the capacity to generate 330 MW (megawatts) of electricity, with operation scheduled to commence in February 2009. The new plant will be constructed at a site approximately 20 kilometers upstream of the Mekong River Mekong River Chinese Lancang Jiang or Lan-Ts'ang Chiang Longest river of Southeast Asia. Rising in southern Qinghai province, China, it flows south through eastern Tibet and across the highlands of Yunnan province. from Can Tho Can Tho (kăn tō, kəntô`), city (1989 est. pop. 284,306), S Vietnam, a port on the Mekong River delta. A large industrial area, where rice and fish are traded, it is the seat of an agricultural and teachers college. The city has two airports. City, the largest city in Mekong Delta region in the southern Vietnam and located approximately 170 kilometers southwest of Ho Chi Minh City Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, city (1997 pop. 5,250,000), on the right bank of the Saigon River, a tributary of the Dong Nai, Vietnam. . In the initial stage, the O Mon power plant will generate electricity by using oil as its fuel. Later, natural gas also will be used as a fuel after the construction of the southwest gas pipeline system completed. Based on the full-turnkey contract, MHI will manufacture and install major power generation equipment, including a boiler and steam turbine. The company also will conduct test operation of the power plant. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will build the generator. Toa Corporation of Japan will perform the civil engineering work, including riverbank enforcement and improvement of the plant site soil. Mitsubishi Corporation will handle the trade particulars. In Vietnam, the demand for electric power has risen sharply with recent economic development and is expected to remain high. In Mekong Delta region, where the plant is to be built, electricity supply falls behind the demand, including electric power for agricultural use. In order to improve electricity supply situation, construction of power generation facility there has been urgently required. For the plant construction funds, Japan Bank of International Cooperation (JBIC JBIC Japan Bank for International Cooperation JBIC Japan Biological Informatics Consortium ) is expected to furnish yen credit as a pillar of project to modernize Mekong Delta region. The construction of O Mon Thermal Power Plant is the first order to MHI from Vietnam in eight years. In 1998, the company received the order for Phu My Thermal (gas-turbine combined-cycle) Power Plant (Phu My 1). With the construction of O Mon Thermal Power Plant Unit No.2 being planned, MHI will further strengthen its power plant marketing activities to Vietnam, where electricity demand is very vigorous.
