However, concern over the environmental effect of Orimulsion increased, so we decided to stop driving in 1996. When stopped it was a 360 MW power plant.

The facility remained as part of the landscape for a long time, but the explosion was dismantled at 9 o'clock March 11, 2012.

The camera that was in a fairly close position is kore, and the sound of the blowing is heard almost without a gap.
