Based on the MOU, the €411-million project will start in the beginning of 2019. The first gas unit of the power plant is expected to be completed in 15 months and the second one will be built in two years.
The power plant’s feedstock will be supplied from Syria’s gas fields through a 70-kilometer pipeline.
