| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year | Retired year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit GT | operating[2] | fossil gas - natural gas[2] | 52[2] | gas turbine[2] | – | 1973[2] | – |
| Unit ST | mothballed[2] | fossil gas - natural gas[2] | 450[2] | steam turbine[2] | – | 1973[2] | – |
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 1972, 450 MW of gas-fired electrical capacity was installed at the site. In 2012, Starkraft (which took over the power station from E.On in 2009) put the gas plant in cold reserve.[3]
However, an open-cycle gas-fired turbine of 52 MW still operates on this site.[4]
