The combined cycle power plant consists of four blocks, each with two gas turbines and a downstream steam turbine . A waste heat steam generator is connected to each of the two gas turbines ; the waste heat steam generator then supplies the steam turbine. The installed capacity of one block is 500 MW. The efficiency of the power plant is given as 58%. According to KEPCO, the maximum output of a block is 450 MW.
Others
In 2007, the English newspaper The Telegraph ranked Poryong in second place among the 25 largest CO 2 emitters worldwide with 37.8 million t .
