| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year | Retired year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit 1, timepoint 1 | Operating[2] | fossil gas: natural gas[3] | 800[4] | combined cycle[3] | not found | 2002[3] | 2025 (planned)[5] |
| Unit 1, timepoint 2 | Pre-construction[6] | fossil gas: natural gas, other: hydrogen (unknown)[3][7] | 877[6] | combined cycle[6] | not found | 2025 (planned)[6] | – |
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
In 2021 the project applied for 800 MW existing generation in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 auction, and they were listed in the final results.[9][10] This would qualify them for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[11]
