Doosan Heavy Industries’ two coal-fired plants worth 1 trillion won ($896.7 million) in Vietnam have been connected to the country’s electricity grid, according to foreign media reports.

In 2015, Doosan won Song Hau 1 project that consists of two 600-megawatt thermal power plants from the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group.

Following the synchronization, the Song Hau 1 power plant has been connected to the national grid system. The plant No.1 will be operational in the second quarter this year and the plant No.2 will be up and running in the third quarter.
