The plant, which covers a total location of 15.6 hectares (38.5 acres), is anticipated to produce some 16.2 million kWh yearly, or sufficient electrical energy to meet the power need of around 6,750 two-person households.

A 20-year agreement remains in location for the plant's outcome, set at EUR 0.0515 (USD 0.061) per kWh.
