Background

Mari is the first plant in Cyprus run by an independent power producer.[7] Construction began in 2018 and has made slow progress (original completion was planned for 2021)[8]. In 2021 buildings can be seen on the site.[9] Its supply of LNG will come from the nearby LNG terminal scheduled to be completed in 2022.[10]

As of March 2021, the plant was expected to be commissioned in 2023, "probably at the same time as the commissioning of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the island that is currently under construction" according to Diesel and Gas Turbine Worldwide.[11]

Siemens is supplying three SGT-800 gas turbines which will operate with one steam turbine in a 3x1 combined cycle. Siemens has also signed a 20-year long-term service and maintenance agreement.[12]
