Built in 1930 "was once a vital engine which helps to provide energy to the city" its redevelopment is considered vital to the economic recovery of the city.

The general plan designed by Rafael Viñoly, who also reinforce the Northern line underground, expected to be completed in fifteen years, while the restoration of the plant will begin in 2012 and ended in 2016.
