somewhat dated
as the project is completed shouldn't this article be changed to present/past tense and start having some metrics on operations....

- Yes, definitely. You can help with that! The first thing is to find more recent sources of information: for example, there should be news stories about the completion of the project and beginning of operation. If you can find some good sources, you are welcome to add them to the article and update the text. If you prefer, you could link the sources here for others to use in editing the article. Thanks. --Amble (talk) 21:23, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Power rating
Gross or net ? Here the documentation for ps_electrical_capacity in Infobox documentation. Current gross installed capacity in megawatts, or planned capacity from those under development. If 110 MW is the Power Station net output, gross capacity should be something more. If value is not stated, the best guess is the power turbine capacity, as by provided source. --Robertiki (talk) 02:40, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- Both the developer and the owner give the rating of the power station as 110MW.[4][5] I think what's important is what is delivered to the grid, the customer, gross is irrelevant. Wikipedia definition is a bit idiotic and contradictory. The Infobox definition implys gross but the associated popup referrers to Nameplate capacity i.e "Nameplate capacity is the number registered with authorities for classifying the power output of a power station usually expressed in megawatts (MW)" which would be nett. --Andynct (talk) 11:52, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
