It will cost $697 million and will output 220 MW when working at top capacity. Construction is expected to start in May, and last for 52 months (4 years and 4 months).

“This permit had been delayed because in December 2009, the Appeals Court of Juigalpa ordered to suspend the project, but this was overruled by the Supreme Justice Court in February 2010”, reported Elnuevodiario.com.ni.
