Astakos Power Station was a proposed coal-fired power plant in Etoloakarnania, Greece. It is no longer being pursued due to a decision by the Greek government to end hard coal imports.
Location

Background
Astakos Power Station was a proposal by T-Power - a consortium of Edison and Hellenic Petroleum -- for a 600 megawatt project that Power in Europe described in 2008 as being in the "pre-proposal" stage.[1]
Project blocked
The project was effectively blocked in 2009 due to a decision by the Greek government not end hard coal imports in favor of using natural gas in future plants.[2]
