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
Once hailed as Colombia's largest prospective natural gas plant, the Nencol 5 power station (also known as Termo Induenergy) appeared for many years as a 2240 MW project on the Nencol website[12] and on the Colombian government's list of future power projects.[13]
However, as of October 2022 the Nencol 5 plant had been dropped from the government's lists of active projects[14] (after appearing on the September list[15]), and Nencol has subsequently removed all mention of the 2240 MW project from its website.[16]
As of October 2024, despite the target implementation date of January 2, 2025 still appearing on the UPME website[17], there had been no further news about the power plant for more than two years, implying that the project had been shelved.
