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
Hyundai won the combined cycle power plant contract, beginning the project in 2014.[9] In October of 2018, Move it Magazine reported that the power plant "should be fully operational by the end of this year."[10] However, the African Power Platform lists the project as "Under construction" while Zawya labels it "delayed"[11][12]
A media report from 2019 remarks that the project has been delayed by 8 months and is expected to come online in 2020.[13] This aligns with SPE's development plan, which slates commissioning for 2020.[14] However, as of July 2021 SPE's list of operating plants does not include Bellara.[15]
