CGE has also said that it plans to commence drilling in Victoria’s EL4500 and other Greenpower Energy tenements by mid-2010 to support its proposed 400 megawatt syngas-fired power station in Victoria.

The station will be built on Greenpower Energy’s brown coal exploration licences held in the Gippsland Basin.
