At 66 MW, CHP CET-1 Chisinau is around the median gas plant in Moldova (66 MW). Its current lifecycle status is “Pre 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.
The #3 largest gas power plant of 5 in Moldova by capacity.
Moldova has 5 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 1,478 MW of capacity.
