Background
The Los Rulos power station is projected to be located to Limache, Chile, to receive LNG from a nearby gas pipeline from Quintero, and to connect with 500 kV transmission lines.[12] As of July 2021 the project was still undergoing environmental assessments.[12]In February 2022, construction of the Los Rulos power station was approved by a ministerial committee of the Chilean government, despite the opposition of Chile's Minister of the Environment, Javier Naranjo.[13]In October 2022, the news outlet Radio Bío Bío reported that the plant's developers had decided not to move forward with the Los Rulos project.[2] Local elected officials celebrated the decision as a victory for citizens' groups who have long opposed the plant on health and environmental grounds.[3]
