Background
Construction began in 2012 but was delayed until 2018 due to an attack by ISIS on the site.[11][12]
The power station was also hit during a missile attack in 2021, claimed by the Islamic State.[13][14] 2021 was expected to be the year of commissioning but it is unclear if the plant became operational.[12]
