Background on Plant
In 2008, it was announced that a 600 Megawatt coal-fired power plant project would be constructed in the Khao Hinsorn Sub-District, Phanom Sarakham District. Local villagers expressed various concerns and held protests and eventually petitioned the King, citing health concerns over the power station. In October 2013 project sponsor NPS again did not get needed approval documents for the station.
