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 2019 Fluor was awarded the EPC contract for Ineos's new cogeneration plant (unit NEP, or New Energy Plant).[11] Once operational the plant will replace the power and steam provided by 40+ year old units B and C.[12] It is sited adjacent (directly west) of the existing unit 1.[13]
Ineos has also announced plans to build a "New Energy Plant" of 35 MW, which will be hydrogen-ready and have a carbon-capture-and-storage attachment.[14] However, in June, 2022, INEOS announced that plans for the New Energy Plant were shelved due to "challenges" facing the project.[15]
