Alexandroupolis Industrial Area power station is a 840 MW gas power station in Evros, Greece. It ranks #7 of 99 Greece power plants by installed capacity. Its annual emissions of 754 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS verified (EUTL 2023)) are equivalent to about 176 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 38.4% of Greece's electricity; the national grid averages 315 gCO₂/kWh (49.7% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 840 MW, Alexandroupolis Industrial Area power station is well above the median gas plant in Greece (444 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG); GE Power: 9HA.02. Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
