It is located approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of the city of Larnaca and it has a capacity of 460 MW.

Completed, it consisted of seven steam turbo generators with a total capacity of 84 MW.

As the machinery grew old and demand rose steadily, a new plant was built next to the old.

All boilers burn heavy fuel oil and were built by Waagner-Biro.

The steam plant was completed with the supply of turbogenerators 5 and 6 from Bharat Heavy Electricals in 1992 and 1993.
