RG Generacion power station

The RG Generacion power station is proposed by Rio Grande SA as a $1.4 billion 700-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station. The company proposes that the plant be built in Coronel, in the Biobio region. The company stated that it aimed to have the plant, comprising two 350 MW units, online by the end of 2014. The Wall Street Journal reported in late February 2010 that Rio Grande, which is "controlled by the Southern Cross equity fund", had submitted an environmental impact statement on the proposal to the government.
