Background
An October 2003 report from Venezuela's Ministry of Energy and Mines called for the Carboeléctrica Santo Domingo, a US$625 million, 500 MW coal-fired project, to be developed simultaneously with the adjacent Santo Domingo coal mine.[1] In 2004 Venezuela's national power company Cadafe agreed with the Russian company Energoprom to build a scaled-down version of the plant, with a price tag of US$300 million and a generating capacity of 300 MW.[2]
A 2009 overview of Venezuela's energy sector listed the Santo Domingo plant as an active 300 MW project with a scheduled completion date of 2010[3]; however, the plant was not listed in the 2012 edition of the same report[4], and it no longer appears as an active project on plant sponsor Corpoelec's website.[5]
