Under the BOOT agreement, CNMIEC was to supply 300 MW of energy to CEB for a term of 15 years. The remainder of the energy was to be sold to the public. Following a direct negotiation process, CNMIEC was awarded to set up a 300 MW coal fired power plant at Norochcolai. The total project cost was 450 US millions.
