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
Station A of the Clifton Pier Power Station was proposed and constructed following criticism of a longer term plan for a larger plant because of urgent energy needs.[8] Station A was built within nine months and began operating in December 2019.[8] The power station is run by seven Wӓrtsilӓ 50DF engines.[8] As of 2020, the Bahamas Power and Light Company was drafting a contract to transfer the project to Shell.[9]
As of October 2020, Shell was still slated to finalize the 225 MW power plant. with construction scheduled to begin in 2021 on the 102 MW Station D, and an intended start date of full operational power of 225 MW in 2023.[10] Part of the contract with Shell was to include the transfer of Station A (and a proposed Station D) to Shell for their complete ownership of the units operating at Clifton Pier.
However, as of November 2024 there had been no news about Clifton Pier Station D since September 2021[7], and the expansion project was presumed to be shelved.
