Alexandroupolis Industrial Area power station is a proposed 830-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant in the region of Evros, Greece. It is currently in the pre-construction phase, having been licensed by the RAE.
Location
The map below shows the approximate location of the proposed power station in Alexandroupoli, the region of Evros, Greece.
Background
The Alexandroupolis plant was originally a 450 MW plant[1], but as of 2021 it holds a license for 662 MW.[2] It has reportedly increased to over 800 MW capacity in April 2021, since RAE granted a license for 830 MW.[3][4][5]
The plant is scheduled to come online in sync with the new Alexandroupolis LNG Terminal [3] from which the power plant is expected to procure fuel.[6]
In 2021 North Macedonia's power utility Elektrani na Severna Makedonija (ESM) signed a memorandum with Greece to invest 25% in the new power plant. This will secure gas-fired electricity supply for the country as they phase out coal.[7][8]
A December 2, 2021 article stated that the project was "expected to enter into commercial operation in 2023" and cost around $446.7 million.[6]
