Table 2: Unit-level details

Unit name Status Fuel(s) Capacity (MW) Technology CHP Start year
1 Pre-construction[2][3][4][5] fossil gas: natural gas[6] 500[5] gas turbine[6] not found 2026 (planned)[5]
2 Pre-construction[2][3][4][5] fossil gas: natural gas[6] 500[5] gas turbine[6] not found 2026 (planned)[5]

CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background

The Tisza plant site has a history dating back to the 1970s. Originally four gas-fired steam turbines[9] totaling 900 MW capacity[10], it changed ownership multiple times from MVM to US AES Corporation to SPS Smart Power Solutions. It was finally repurchased by MVM Balance in 2020.[11] Shut down since 2012[10], MVM announced in 2020 that a new combined-cycle unit is proposed at the retired site.[12]
