Power plant units
The power plant consists of two blocks. The following table gives an overview:
| block | unit | Max. Power (MW) | Start of operation | turbine | generator | Steam boiler |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 280 | 2007 | Alstom | Alstom | Alstom |
| 2 | 280 | 2007 | Alstom | Alstom | Alstom | |
| 3 | 250 | 2007 | Alstom | Alstom | ||
