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 announced in 2011,[5] Century Power Generation Ltd. (CPG) planned the first phase to be completed by 2015[6], but as of 2017 that estimate was pushed back to 2020.[7] As of May 2019, GPG was still securing funding.[8]
The three phases are:[5]
- Phase 1: Construction of a gas fired power plant in an Open Cycle Gas Turbine (OCGT) configuration, with a power output of approximately 495MW (at ISO conditions).
- Phase 2: Extension of the OCGT to a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) configuration with a nominal power capacity of approximately 750MW (at ISO conditions), through the addition of HRSG and steam turbines.
- Phase 3: Installation of a second CCGT with additional capacity of 750MW (at ISO conditions) to arrive at a plant with a total output of 1500MW (at ISO conditions).
In 2019 CPG said the commissioning date was in late 2022.[9]
The CPG website, as of October 2021, lists the project status as "ongoing" and the "Milestones Accomplished" as owning the land for the plant, a generating license, and a cleared EISA report.[6] However, a different page on that website states, as of October 2021, "the first phase is a 495MW open cycle plant, which will be commissioned in 2021."[10] As of October 2021, it is unclear whether construction has begun on phase 1.
