| combined cycle-power station This type of plant is flexible in response and can be built in the 100-600 MW capacity range.

The thermal efficiency of these stations is ca. 50 per cent compared with a maximum of 40 per cent from steam turbine coal fired power stations. This type of plant can be built in two years compared with six years for a coal-fired station and 10-15 years for nuclear | central eléctrica de ciclo combinado |
