Location
The photo below shows the plant.
Background
The power station is proposed by RWE. On its website, RWE states that "the authorities in charge at the Eemshaven location in Groningen province are currently processing the request for approval (MER) for building the plant. RWE submitted the records in January 2007."[1]RWE lists it as one of its major capital investments at a cost of 2.2 billion euros.[2]
The plant is scheduled to begin operation by 2014, and will be partially fueled by biomass. The 50 hectare site is located at Eemshaven port.[3]
Opposition
The Council of State court revoked the power station's 2008 nature protection permits issued by Groningen and Friesland, saying the assessment of impact on protected areas was incomplete. In March 2012 RWE re-applied for the disputed environmental permits.[4]
