Background
The Huntstown power station was developed in two phases. The first unit began operation in November 2002, it consists of a Siemens unit with a nameplate capacity of around 340 MW. The latter began operation in October 2007, and consists of a Mitsubishi unit with a nameplate capacity of around 400 MW. Both units burn natural gas with distillate oil as a backup fuel source.[18]
