History
The power plant was built in 2002.[1] On 28 June 2006, the six transformers of the power plant were destroyed by missile attacks by Israeli Air Force.[2] In 2007, the power plant was rebuilt and it operated at a maximum capacity of 80 MW.[3]
On 29 July 2014, the power plant was attacked again by the Israel Defense Forces.[4]
On October 11, 2023, the plant reportedly stopped working after it ran out of fuel due to the blockade on Gaza imposed by Israel during the Gaza war.[5][6]
Technical specifications
The power plant has a total of four generating units with an installed capacity of 140 MW.[7]
