Dhekelia Power Station is one of three power plants belonging to the Electricity Authority of Cyprus. It is located approximately east of the city of Larnaca and it has a capacity of 460 MW.[1]
The original plant was the first of the company, which started building it in the mid-1950s. Completed, it consisted of seven steam turbo generators with a total capacity of 84 MW. As the machinery grew old and demand rose steadily, a new plant was built next to the old.
Built in five phases, the current power plant consists of six steam turbines, each of a capacity of 60 MW and six diesel engines of approximately 17 MW each. All boilers burn heavy fuel oil and were built by Waagner-Biro. The first two turbines and generators were supplied by Siemens and came online in 1982 and 1983. Turbines 3 and 4 were made by Toshiba and the corresponding generators by Alstom and came online in 1986. The steam plant was completed with the supply of turbogenerators 5 and 6 from Bharat Heavy Electricals in 1992 and 1993. The six diesel engines run on either heavy fuel oil or diesel oil, with the first three being two-stroke MAN SE ones erected by Mitsui in 2009 and the other three being four-stroke ones manufactured by in 2010.
The original plant was demolished in the early 2000s.
