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
In May 2022, it was mentioned in the news that the power station would switch to a combined cycle operation mode.[14] In October 2024, the Ministry of Energy of Turkmenistan announced an international tender for the turnkey construction of steam turbines at the Akhal, Dashoguz, Lebap, and Dervezin state power plants to convert existing gas turbine units to combined-cycle operation.[15]
In September 2025, Turkmenistan’s Deputy Minister of Energy Serdar Saparov reaffirmed the country’s plans to convert the four power plants to combined-cycle operation as part of its power sector modernization program.[16] However, no further project details have been disclosed, and the installed capacity of the planned new units at the Dervezin State power station remains unspecified.
