Background
The power station is owned by Repsol SA and located in Campo de Gibraltar, Cadiz, the province of Andalusia, Spain.[4][5][6] Although originally a coal and fuel-oil fired power station, the station transitioned to using natural gas as a fuel in a combined-cycle turbine in 2011[7]. In 2018, Repsol SA acquired ownership of the plant from Viesgo, who had held ownership of the station since 2007.[5]
The original two units were retired, and a third unit started up in 2011 has 821 MW of gas-fired capacity.[8][9][10][11][12]
