Background

In 2016, the 330 MW unit came online.[9]

In November 2017, General Electric announced that it had been selected by Jiangsu Etern Company Limited to supply a LMS100 gas turbine for the 100 MW power plant. The order was US $multi-million, including supplying the gas turbine equipment and providing related installation, testing, and commissioning services. The project was expected to be commissioned in the second quarter of 2019.[10]

In 2021, the 100 MW unit came online.[11]
