Vietnam top coal miner says increasing sales to power plants

Vinacomin, Vietnam's largest coal miner, said it had significantly boosted sales to fuel domestic power plants at the same time as the country is ramping up its coal imports to try to avoid a repeat of last year's power shortages.

The company's coal sales to power plants totalled 15.3 million metric tons in the January-April period, up 13.8% from a year earlier, the state-run miner, formally known as Vietnam National Coal Mineral Industries Holding Corp., said in a statement this week.
