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
A memorandum of understanding between Bangladesh Power Division and Siemens to build the plant was signed in November 2017. At the outset, the estimated cost for constructing three units of 1200 MW each was US$2.8 billion. Initially expected to start running in 2020, construction slowed down enough that a steering group was formed with representatives from the NWPGCL and Siemens to speed up the project. In addition, a land-based LNG terminal was planned to be built to supply fuel for the power plant.[6]
In 2022, the government announced it was taking a step back from project due to high LNG costs. However, NWPGCL said a 1200 MW power plant could be built at the initial stage under its own management.[7][8]
