Kelar power station

The Kelar power station is a proposed 540 MW power station in northern Chile by BHP Billiton Ltd. BHP obtained approval for the plant in 2007 and then suspended the project. In 2012 BHP resubmitted its plans for the $400-million project, as the previously approved plant was coal-fired and BHP now aimed to use natural gas. BHP wants the plant to come on line in 2016.
