The plant is integrated within an existing power plant and is initially designed as a simple cycle plant, although in the future it is expected to be extended to a combined cycle power plant.
The power plant will be equipped with two GE 9FA.03 gas turbines. The primary fuel for the operation of the plant will be natural gas and light distillate oil will be used as backup fuel. The plant which will generate around 8% of the installed capacity of the country will give the region a socio-economic boost through the creation of new jobs. Once again, Çalık Enerji has relied on Idom for the development of the basic and detailed engineering of the plant. Infographics / Íñigo Gutiérrez Artetxe
