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 Cherepovetskaya power station is owned by OGK-2 PJSC, which in turn is owned by Gazprom.
The plant’s three coal-fired units were brought online between 1976 and 1978.[6][7][8][9] In November 2018 it was reported that the plant's three coal-fired units would be retired as of Jan. 1, 2021. The power supplied by the plant would be replaced by a new gas-fired plant and gas pipelines.[10] However, in October 2020 Oleg Kuvshinnikov, governor of the Vologda province, negotiated an agreement for the three coal-fired units to continue operating for at least three more years.[11][12]
As of December 2021, the company website listed the gas-fired combined cycle engine as the only equipment operating at the station with installed capacity of 450 MW.[9] Several other sources, including the website for the Russian nation-wide centralized power System Operator[13], reported that as of January 1, 2021, the three coal-fired units have been deactivated, while the boilers of units 2 and 3 are being used in the boiler room mode to provide heat and hot water to the Kadui settlement.[13][8] We are considering these coal-fired units retired since they are no longer used to generate power.
