It produces steam for the alumina production process at the Aluminium of Greece (AOG) alumina and aluminum production complex at Agios Nikolaos on the north coast of the Gulf of Corinth. Electricity will normally be exported to the national grid, but in a back-up role, the CHP plant can supply electricity to the AOG site for use in aluminum production. About 730,000 tpy of alumina are produced from local bauxite deposits and imports. The complex produces 170,000 tpy of aluminum.
