CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background
The Azito power station in its current state was built in 3 phases, two simple cycle turbines built in 1999 and 2000, and a heat-recovery steam turbine that was commissioned in 2015 to create a combined cycle system with the three turbines.[10]
In 2020, it was announced that the power station would be expanded with an additional 253 MW within the combined cycle system.[11] GE was selected to supply their E-class GT13E2 turbine for the project, meaning it will be able to burn up to 30% Hydrogen as part of its fuel mix.[12]
