At 1,200 MW, Jorf Lasfar CCGT power station is around the median gas plant in Morocco (1,200 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — 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 #2 largest gas power plant of 6 in Morocco by capacity.
Morocco has 6 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 5,672 MW of capacity.
