| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year | Retired year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit 1 | operating[2][3][4] | fossil gas - natural gas[2][5][6] | 470[2][5] | combined cycle[4] | – | 1994[1] | – |
| Unit 2 | pre-permit[7][8] | fossil gas - natural gas[9] | 870[9] | combined cycle[10] | – | 2025[9] | – |
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.

| Unit name | Owner | Parent |
|---|---|---|
| Unit 1 | Luminus NV/SA [100%] | EDF Belgium SA [68.6%]; Pubilec CVBA/SCRL [26.4%] |
| Unit 2 | Luminus NV/SA [100%] | EDF Belgium SA [68.6%]; Pubilec CVBA/SCRL [26.4%] |
Background
Due to underutilization, Luminus informed the government in 2016 that it may have to permanently close the plant on October 31, 2017.[11] It had been in the Strategic Reserve since 2014.[12] However, it was put back into the Strategic Reserve 2017-2018 and then put back on the market.[13][14]
Luminus' website, as of March 2021, states the site is the location for a new 870 MW gas plant that will be built adjacent to the current power plant.[15]
