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
The combined cycle cogeneration plant located adjacent to BP Chemicals Limited's petrochemical plant. From 2005 to 2015, 7 percent of the plant's generating capacity and all of the plant's steam output was for captive use at the petrochemical plant.[7]
In 2021 the project applied for 1,200 MW existing generation (units 1, 2, and 3) in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 auction, and they were listed in the final results.[8][9] This would qualify them for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[10]
