Background
According to Smith Cogeneration's website, the company was developing a 450 MW mine-mouth coal-fired power plant based upon indigenous lignite coal. The facility would be Pakistan's first power plant based upon an indigenous commercially operational coal mine. Smith received a Letter of Intent for this project and was expecting a Letter of Support pending review by the government of Pakistan. However, the project is now "inactive."[1] This project was listed in a 2004 government report, and thus may have been defunct for quite a while.[2]
