Table 2: Unit-level details

Unit name Status Fuel(s) Capacity (MW) Technology CHP Start year Retired year
Unit 1, timepoint 1 Retired[2] fossil gas: natural gas [90%][3][2] 23.8[3] gas turbine[3] yes[2] 1993[4] 2021[2]
Unit 1, timepoint 2 Operating[2] fossil gas: natural gas [90%], other: hydrogen (unknown) [10%][3][2] 23.8[3] gas turbine[3] yes[2] 2021[5][4]

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.
