The coal-fired power plant with blocks 1 to 3 is on the left side of the Nalón , while the combined cycle power plant with blocks 4 and 5 is on the right-hand side of the river. The annual production of the coal-fired power plant was 4.836 billion kWh in 2002 . In blocks 4 and 5, the gas and steam turbines are connected to a common shaft ( single-shaft ).
