Barrancones power station

Barrancones power station was a proposed 540 MW, US$1.2bn plant by GDF Suez for the Punta de Choros area in region IV, Chile. In 2010 Chile's President Sebastian Piñera asked GDF Suez to move the project to a different location, requiring a new environmental approval to proceed. GDF Suez has not announced whether it will proceed with the project in a new location, but sources close to the project have said the plant is likely shelved.
