At 125 MW, Karpowership (Mozambique) Mehmet Bey power station is below the median gas plant in Mozambique (175 MW). 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.
