The Gaza Power Plant (Arabic: محطة توليد كهرباء غزة) is a fossil fuel power station in Gaza Strip, Palestine.
History
The power plant was built in 2002. On 28 June 2006 during the 2006 Gaza–Israel conflict, the six transformers of the power plant were destroyed by missile attacks by Israeli Air Force. In 2007, the power plant was rebuilt and it operated at a maximum capacity of 80 MW.
On 29 July 2014, the power plant was attacked again by the Israel Defense Forces.
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.
Technical specifications
The power plant has a total of four generating units with an installed capacity of 140 MW.
