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 2007, construction of the unit began on a site that previously housed two coal plants: Staythorpe A and Staythorpe C.[6] Since it was commissioned in 2011, it has provided 1828 MW of power through a gas-fired turbine.[7]
In 2021 the project applied for 1,864 MW existing generation (units 1, 2, 3, and 4) 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]
