Background
The existing Río Haina plant uses fuel oil and diesel as its energy sources and is operated by EGE Haina.[3][4]
The proposed coal-fired plant was to be composed of two 120 MW circulating fluidized bed units.[5]
Proposed Coal-Fired Expansion
In February 2013, Diario Libre reported that EGE Haina would replace Río Haina's existing oil-fired Units 1, 2 and 4 with a brand new 240 MW coal-fired plant comprising two units of 120 MW each, at an estimated cost of $624 million and with an anticipated start-up date of 2016 or 2017.[5]
However, there have been no subsequent press reports about the proposed coal-fired units, and no such conversion of the Río Haina facility is mentioned on the EGE Haina website, so the coal-fired project appears to have been definitively abandoned.[4]
