Background
A call for tenders to produce electricity in the area was first launched in 2006. The project that won that tender, a 200 MW oil-fired power station by GDF Suez, was abandon in 2009. In 2011 a new call for applicants was launched and a year later the Minister of Industry and Energy announced that a 422 MW tender had been selected. 23 people were arrested following two demonstrations against the plant in 2019.[6]
In June of 2021, reports stated that the plant was expected to be completed in December 2021.[7] However, in October 2021 Total Energies announced a delay, expecting the plant to become operational in February 2022.[6] After this announcement, over one thousand people protested against the proposal - citing air pollution concerns. At that time, the project was expected to be completed in 2016.[8] Construction began in January 2019, and was completed in February 2022.[9][6]
Siemens built the plant and is expected to operated it. The station is equipped with an SGT5-4000F, capable of burning up to 30% Hydrogen as part of its mix of fuels.[7][10]
