Gaza Power Plant

The Gaza Power Plant is a fossil fuel power station in Gaza Strip, Palestine.

History

The power plant was built in 2002. On 28 June 2006, the six transformers of the power plant were destroyed by missile attacks by Israeli Air Force. In 2007, the power plant was rebuilt and it operated at a maximum capacity of 80 MW. On 29 July 2014, the power plant was attacked again by the Israel Defense Forces. On October 11, 2023, the plant reportedly stopped working after it ran out of fuel due to the blockade on Gaza imposed by Israel during the Israel-Hamas war.
