Background

Project sponsors for the proposed 1,000 MW power station were Polish investment firm Kulczyk Holding and Belarusian power company Bielenergo. In 2010 Kulczyk Holding said the firm was planning the direct current inset on the Belarusian side, to link the two country's grids; the plant was expected to begin operation in 2014 and export energy to Poland.[1]

In 2011, Jan Kulzcyk said that he was suspending the project because the "current climate surrounding Belarus" made financing too difficult.

As of June 2014 the power station was not mentioned on Kulczyk Holding's website and appears to have been abandoned.
