Background

The Termocosta power station is expected to be operational in 2023[7] and will be part of the Santa Marta energy hub.[8] As of July 2020, the project was undergoing feasibility studies.[8]

As of November 2022, the Termocosta power station was still listed on the website of project developer NENCOL.[9] However, the project was removed from the website of Colombian planning agency UPME between October 2021[7] and February 2022[10], implying that the project might no longer be moving forward.
