The facility will have a power capacity of up to 10 gigawatts, with the first phase covering 800 megawatts of electricity, costing between $30 billion and $40 billion, and expected to be completed by early 2028. The project will utilize approximately $33 billion worth of gas-fired power generation, which will be installed by the end of this decade. (Jiemian News)
