The redirection strategy is designed to enhance efficiency by prioritizing the dispatch of combined cycle plants over simple cycle plants based on current gas supply constraints and available thermal plants.

This initiative is expected to contribute an additional 100MW to the grid, utilizing existing gas resources more effectively to meet power demand.
