Background
In 2020, EVN installed a new gas-fired turbine at the station with a rating of 240 MW of electricity, bringing the total generating capacity of the station to 735 MW. However, this turbine is has been put in reserve, with only block "B" operating currently for grid-stabilization and balancing.[7]
