The Ninh Thuận 1 Nuclear Power Plant is a key infrastructure asset in Vietnam's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a low-carbon electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing nuclear energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Vietnam Electricity, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2020, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Vietnam, Ninh Thuận 1 Nuclear Power Plant occupies the #2 position among all operational nuclear power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Vietnam's total installed nuclear generating capacity, which currently stands at 4,000 MW. The largest operational nuclear installation in Vietnam is the Ninh Thuận 2 Nuclear Power Plant with an output of 4,000 MW, making the Ninh Thuận 1 Nuclear Power Plant approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Vietnam's aggregate generation capacity of 78,648 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of nuclear power plants (modeled at 90% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Vietnam consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 11.4133° latitude and 108.9747° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Ninh Thuận 2 Nuclear Power Plant (nuclear, 4000 MW), the Vinh Tan 2 (coal-fired, 1244 MW), the Phước Nam (solar, 330 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Vietnam.
