#1 The biggest problem with installing power in that area of the world won't be the fule for the generators. The cooling water would be the tough part.
I would think that you would need four 600MW generators set up in indivisual units like the Ohio River plant I worked at for DP&L. The plant is JM Stuart Station and might be a decent working model of what that type of power would cost.

I would build it directly on the gulf where the Seals took over those platforms at teh start of the war. Good local for importing equipment and for cooling water availability. I estimate $1B.
