Background

In late 2012, the state petroleum company PDVSA was engaged in talks with China concerning the possible construction of three coke-burning power plants at PDVSA's José Antonio complex despite extensive backlash. However, further details regarding any such plant are lacking, as there is no recent news coverage of the plant and no mention of it on sponsor company's PDVSA's website. It appears to have been abandoned.
