By 2025, more and more coal will be needed, while domestic exploitation is becoming stagnant, so coal will continue to be imported. To speed up the import of coal, Vietnam has asked the Australian Ambassador to find ways to bring coal into Vietnam soon. Australia will supply Vietnam with good quality coal at a reasonable price to have the cost of electricity production at an appropriate level, ensuring enough electricity for our … [Read more...] about Thermal power plants dependant on imported coal
