Background
Mari is the first plant in Cyprus run by an independent power producer.[8] Construction began in 2018 and has made slow progress (original completion was planned for 2021)[9]. In 2021 buildings can be seen on the site.[10] Its supply of LNG will come from the nearby LNG terminal scheduled to be completed in 2022.[11]
As of March 2021, the plant was expected to be commissioned in 2023, "probably at the same time as the commissioning of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the island that is currently under construction" according to Diesel and Gas Turbine Worldwide.[12] As of December 2024, the plant is now expected to be commissioned in 2025. [13]
Siemens is supplying three SGT-800 gas turbines which will operate with one steam turbine in a 3x1 combined cycle. Siemens has also signed a 20-year long-term service and maintenance agreement.[14]
