[5][6][7] In October 2018 new Siemens F-class Open cycle gas turbine brought to the construction site.

It uses two GE air-cooled turbo generators, rated at 296 MVA with a terminal voltage of 15.5 kV on each of the gas turbines.

On the three-stage steam turbine is a Hitachi hydrogen-cooled turbogenerator, with a rating of 430 MVA and a terminal voltage of 24 kV.

Actual power output depends on atmospheric conditions, such as temperature and humidity.
