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 Djelfa power station is being built by Duro Felguera, S.A. (DF). When completed, the Djelfa power station will be the largest project DF has completed.[13] DF signed the contract to build the plant in December of 2013. Initially, it had a 40-month deadline to complete the plant, meaning its completion was expected in 2017.[14] However, it appears completion was delayed. A 2018 press release stated that project was "scheduled for completion in 2018"[15] and DF lists the Execution Period as "2013-2019."[16]

SPE's latest development plan slated commissioning for 2019-2021, and media announcements stated 2021[17]. However, as of 2021 the contractor Duro Felguera has allegedly not paid multiple contractors, and not commissioned the site despite multiple government warnings.[18]
