"This 426MW power plant is expected to begin open-cycle operations later this year and is slated to commence its full commercial operations by next year."

“Our participation and success in this bid fit into SEIL’s strategy of providing cost-competitive and reliable power, while prudently contracting our balance open capacity at viable tariffs.”
