Agios Nikolaos Power Station was a proposed 600-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Greece.

Location
The map below shows Aspra Spitia Viotias, the proposed location of the Agios Nikolaos Power Station.
Background
The power station proposed for Beotia was sponsored by Mytilineos and Endesa, which have formed a joint venture company named Endesa Hellas. The power station would have an installed capacity of 600 megawatts at an estimated cost of 890 million euros.
A securities analyst reported in May 2007 that the company had submitted an application for a power generation license.[1] In July 2007, Endesa Hellas reported that the company aimed to have the "clean coal" plant online by the first half of 2013. (It also flagged that plans for a "clean coal" plant of unstated capacity were under development for a location in Albania).[2]
Project blocked
The project was effectively blocked in 2009 due to a decision by the Greek government to end hard coal imports in favor of using natural gas in future plants.[3]
