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
CHP Source 1 produces about 15% of all electricity consumed in Moldova and is the most powerful power station in right-bank Moldova. Additionally, it generates more than half of the thermal energy consumed by the municipality of Chisinau.[13]The power station has been switched from gas to heavy fuel oil as a measure to manage the energy crisis. The station will be using both, heavy fuel oil and gas for its operations.[14]
In 2016-2018, Termoelectrica developed technical specifications for the repair of Unit 1, which was completed in 2021. Its operating period was extended by 10 years and its installed capacity increased from 80 MW to 98 MW. The project, which cost the enterprise EUR 12 million, was implemented by a consortium of companies Horus Energy and Power Machines.[13]
As of December 2023, reconstruction of Unit 2, which includes reconstruction of steam turbine high-pressure equipment to extend its operational lifetime, and major overhaul of the turbine and replacement of the boiler heat surface at Unit 3 are underway. The project is expected to be completed by 2025. The loan was provided by International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The project aims at increasing the efficiency of the District Heating system in Chisinau.[15] The cost of the project is USD 16.2 million.[16]
