| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CC1, timepoint 1 | Construction[2][3][4] | fossil gas: LNG[5][6] | 840[7][8] | combined cycle[9] | not found | 2025 (planned)[2][7][10] |
| CC1, timepoint 2 | Announced[11][7] | fossil gas: LNG, other: hydrogen (unknown)[5][6][7] | 840[7][8] | combined cycle[9] | not found | – |
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 Alexandroupolis plant was originally a 450 MW plant[15], but as of 2021 it holds a license for 662 MW.[16] It has reportedly increased to over 800 MW capacity in April 2021, since RAE granted a license for 830 MW.[17][18][19]
The plant is scheduled to come online in sync with the new Alexandroupolis LNG Terminal [17] from which the power plant is expected to procure fuel.[20]
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.[21][22]
A December 2, 2021 article stated that the project was "expected to enter into commercial operation in 2023" and cost around $446.7 million.[20]
