The feasibility study was to be carried out by Japan Atomic Power Company.[2] Japan Atomic Power Company will also consult the project.[3][4] The plant will be built by a consortium, International Nuclear Energy Development of Japan Co, which comprises 13 Japanese companies.[5] The plant was to be owned and operated by state-owned electricity company EVN. Unit 1 was expected to be commissioned in 2021, unit 2 in 2022, unit 3 in 2024 and unit 4 in 2025.[2] A marine geological survey for preparations of construction was carried out by the Japan-based Kawasaki Geological Survey Company at the ship M.T. Chōyō.[6]

The project was cancelled in November 2016.[1]
