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
Multiple sources in recent years have reported the La Raisa power station to be completely non-functional, or operating at a small fraction of its original capacity[21][22][23], due in part to turbine failures caused by Corpoelec using "inappropriate fuel".[21] Multi-day blackouts in the areas served by La Raisa have reportedly become commonplace.[21]
