“At this point in time, to be frank, we’re more focused on getting it here. Now obviously, we’re going to watch out to make sure that there are responsible builders who know what they’re doing and we prefer them to be local, at least 50 percent anyway,” he said, adding that a concern he has is if the power plant and Dilles Bottom ethane cracker plant both get the green light at the same time.
“There’s going to be a big worry about where these workers are going to come from. … If we can lock it up first, that would be great.”
The 1,085-megawatt power plant was first announced in early 2020, though the project had been in the works for at least a few years prior. However, there has been little movement on the project since. The plant is anticipated to provide between 500 and 750 construction jobs during the approximately three-year construction period.
According to prior reports, the power plant could break ground later this year."

Expectations on the power plant have dragged on for years, though there are indications that plans for the natural gas plant are still moving forward. When asked how much the power plant would affect the magnesium plans, Ataya said it is “part of the due diligence process.”
