In context: how this plant compares

At 200 MW, Borujerd Combined-Cycle power plant is below the median gas plant in Iran (546 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG); Mapna Group. 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.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
