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
Originally proposed as a 272.75 MW gas-fired plant (as shown on government lists from September 2021[3]), the Neópolis III power station later appeared on November and December 2021 government lists as a 112.9 MW oil-fired plant[6], then eventually disappeared from such lists altogether; the project was accordingly moved to shelved-inferred status.
A February 2025 article cataloguing potential bidders for Brazil's next major energy auction mentioned a plant of this name in Sergipe state, though it listed the owner as Urca Comercializadora de Gás Natural rather than EPP and did not specify capacity, leaving uncertain whether it represented the same project first announced in 2021.[7] In June 2026, having failed to be contracted in Brazil's March 2026 LRCAP energy auction, the project was reclassified as cancelled-inferred.[8]
