| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year | Retired year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit 1 | operating[3][4][5][6][7] | fossil liquids - diesel, fossil gas - natural gas[8][9] | 540[10][11][9] | combined cycle[8] | – | 2013[12][13] | – |
| Unit 2 | mothballed[3][4][5][6][7] | fossil liquids - diesel, fossil gas - natural gas[8][9] | 540[10][11][9] | combined cycle[8] | – | 2013[12][13] | – |
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 recent years, multiple sources have reported the India Urquia power station to be operating at a small fraction of its original capacity[14][15] and/or needing significant maintenance work.[16] Venezuelan government sources reported that maintenance and repair work was underway at the plant in 2020[17] and 2021[18][19], but it remained unclear whether the plant was actually operating.[17][18][19]
