Background

In 2015, Mota-Engil announced its intention to build a combined cycle power station generating up to 1700 MW at the site of the deactivated power station Complexo Industrial - Central Termoelétrica Ing. Jorge Luque Loyola (“CTE JLL”).[7][8] Construction was said to be underway by 2018, with components reportedly delivered in December 2018[9] and November 2019.[10] Mota-Engil announced that it expected the first 100 MW to become operational by March 2020 and the other 1600 MW to be "gradually realized" as investments of approximately 30 billion pesos (1.3 billion euros) came in.[9]

Mota-Engil has continued to list the Jorge Luque power station as an active project in its annual reports to investors[11][12]; however, as of December 2022 it remained unclear how much, if any, of the plant had actually been constructed.[13][14]
