Of which, the two coal-fired units built in Phase I were commissioned in 1997 and 1998, and the two gas-fired units built in Phase II were commissioned in May and November 2009.

The current expansion project is referred to as Phase III of the power plant. The project received approval in December 2011. According to the approval, the expansion project will be furnished with three combined-cycle units, each comprising one M701F4 combustion turbine, one heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), and one steam turbine in single-shaft layout.
