Background
The plant was announced in 2012, and was originally proposed to comprise two 600 MW units for a combined capacity of 1200 MW,[1] but as of January 2014 Dongbu Corporation listed the plant as 1,000 MW.[2]
During implementation, the plant was apparently suffering from both transmission line construction problems and environmental concerns.[3]
In 2015, reports on the 7th Basic Power Plan stated that the project, described as a 2 x 1000 MW plant, was cancelled. It had been planned for completion in 2019-2020.[4]
