| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year | Retired year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit 1 | retired[2] | fossil gas - natural gas[3] | 180[3] | steam turbine[3] | – | 1983[4] | 2022[2] |
| Unit 2 | retired[2] | fossil gas - natural gas[3] | 180[3] | steam turbine[3] | – | 1983[4] | 2022[2] |
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.
