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 power station was commissioned in 1969. It was designed to cover the needs for heat and electricity of the Yavan Electrochemical Plant and the city of Yavon. The main fuel was gas and the reserve - oil. Gas was imported from Uzbekistan.[12]
In the 1990s, following the breakup of the Soviet Union and beginning of the civil war in Tajikistan, production at the Yavan Electrochemical Plant stopped, and the power station was conserved for 12 years. During those years, most of the equipment of the power station and the electrochemical plant was stolen. After the civil war, Tajikistan began looking for opportunities to restore the industry. However, it was clear that the needs of the national market and export opportunities had significantly changed, and it would be impossible and unfeasible to restore the industrial production in Javan to the pre-war level. However, Tajikistan needed electricity, and that is why the government focused on restoration of the Yavan power station. In spring of 2008, two units of the station began operating in the testing mode.[13]
The IEA's 2021 report "Cross-Border Electricity Trading for Tajikistan: A Roadmap" lists the station as "mothballed",[14] and the website of Barki Tojik (owner and operator of the power plant) lists the station as "operating".[15] Based on research, the Yavan power station might supply electricity to TALCO Chemical built in September 2016 with three industrial facilities: plants for the production of cryolite, aluminum fluoride and sulfuric acid on the territory of the Yavon region.[13][16] The recent IEA's report "Tajikistan 2022 Strategic Energy Review" also mentions that the only consumers of gas in the country are the Dushanbe-1 power station and TALCO Group.[17] In March 2023, it was mentioned that the Yavan power station was still partially operating.[18]
