The power station will have an installed effect of 280 MW in electricity production and 350 MW in heat. The energy will be used to operate the Mongstad refinery as well to supply the Troll gas field with power. The plant will use 0.7 BCM gas per year. Emissions of carbon dioxide will be 1.2 million tonnes.
