The plant is a strategic energy infrastructure for the island, contributing significantly to the continuity and security of electricity supply for households, businesses, and essential services. The plant consists of two coal-fired units with a total net capacity of approximately 600 MW and an average annual output of over 2 TWh. Thanks to its predictable production capacity, it is considered essential for the stability of the regional and national electricity system, in a geographical context marked by limited interconnections with the continental grid.
