Among this, the ceiling price level of the electricity generation price framework applied to coal-fired power plants (excluding VAT) is determined to be a maximum price of 1,559.70 VND/kWh.
The parameters used to calculate the ceiling price level of the electricity generation price framework applied to coal-fired power plants in 2023 include: Net capacity is 2x600 MW, net heat consumption rate at 85% load is 2,411.39 kcal/ kWh and coal heating value (HHV) is 5,280kcal/kg.
3/ The electricity generation price framework for the hydropower plants is 0 - 1,110 VND/kWh (excluding water resource tax, forest environmental service fee, water resource exploitation right fee and VAT).
Based on the above electricity generation price framework, EVN and the electricity generation units negotiate PPA on the basis of compliance with legal regulations on MOIT methods of determining the generation prices and managing construction investment costs in accordance with legal regulations on construction.
