The project will consist of three major work sites: The plant itself, the connection line that includes overhead and underground electrical line circuits, as well as a substation that will connect the power plant to the transmission system.
Construction is already underway on the substation and the projects at Blocks A and B, with work expected to be done on that portion in August 2018. Vegetation clearing is already complete on Blocks C and D.
