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 Biblis power plant was originally a nuclear power plant, providing 1200 MW of power until it was decommissioned in 2013.[9] RWE plans to build 11 identical gas-fired turbines with a combined output of 300MW with the intention to commission it by the end of 2022.[10]
However, a news article in July, 2022 noted that completion of construction was delayed due to "Global delivery problems, material bottlenecks, plant closures and staff shortages". Commissioning of the plant is now expected in 2023.[11]
The new turbines will be "low-carbon", with the capacity to use hydrogen as part of the fuel mix.[12]
