Background
In July 2021, GE and Enel announced plans to boost output by 100 MW at the Dock Sud power station through the installation of two GT26 AB gas turbines; the addition was expected to be operational by the end of 2022.[13] However, as of February 2023 it remained unclear whether the new turbines had begun operating.
In November 2022, Enel announced that it planned to sell the Dock Sud plant to a new owner by the end of 2023 to reduce debt and advance its commitment to use cleaner energy sources.[14]
In addition to the turbines listed above, the Dock Sud power station also has two smaller gas turbines of 36 MW each, which are not included in GEM's Global Gas Plant Tracker because they fall beneath the tracker's 50 MW minimum threshold.[15]
