Description
Go deeper with GlobalData
The project is currently owned by Cairo Electricity Production with a stake of 100%.
It is a combined cycle gas turbine (ccgt) power plant. The power plant run on dual-fuel. The primary fuel being used to power the plant is natural gas. In case of shortage of natural gas the plant can also run on Light Fuel Oil. The project underwent through rehabilitation & modernization during 2018-2019.
The project generated 9,047,000MWh of electricity.
