Background
Construction of the power plant was expected to begin in 2021 after the companies signed a purchasing power agreement, with the expectation that the station would be commissioned by 2022.[11] However, construction appears to have been delayed and hasn't started as of May 2022.[12]
Zhefu Holding Group of China and local firm Supreme Trading Co planned to invest US$2.57 billion to build the plant.[13]
