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 plant is one of three announced natural gas-fired power plants by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in December 2017. The other plants are Kaduna power station (900 MW) and Kano power station (1350 MW). The Nigerian Federal Government aims to increase the totalled installed generation capacity to meet the demand for sub-Saharan Africa's largest economy, which is presently constrained with inadequate power supply. The Federal Capital Territory region and Northern Nigeria are severely power constrained as most power plants are installed in southern Nigeria, close to the oil and gas fields. [12][13] A total of 15 power plants are expected to become operational by 2037, 9 of which would be gas-fired.
The combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant will be supplied through the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline project and is expected to cost $2,674.215m[14]. In February 2020, The NNPC secured a United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) $1.16m grant for the Abuja Power Plant.[15][12] This first grant was to be deployed for the feasibility study to assess the project's bankability.[16] The USTDA indicated that the project would not require counterpart funding from the Nigerian government.[17]
General Electric Nigeria (GE Nigeria) will supply the gas turbines and China Machinery Engineering Corp (CMEC) will provide engineering and construction services.[18]
