Background

In March 2011, CPV announced that it had completed the Environmental Screening Process for the power station and that it could be in service by 2015.[1]

The power station was to be built a few blocks away from the Nanticoke Generating Station, a coal-fired power plant that closed down in 2013[2] and has since been replaced by a solar farm.[3]

CPV provides no other development information on the Nanticoke Energy Centre[4] and the project appears to be cancelled.
