| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CC (GCH-9, GCH-10, GCH-12) | Operating[3] | fossil gas: natural gas[4] | 207[5][6][4] | combined cycle[7][6][8] | not found | 2012[6] |
| GCH-11 | Operating[3] | fossil gas: natural gas[4] | 62[4] | gas turbine[4][8] | not found | 1999[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
The largest generating unit at the Guaracachi power station is a 208 MW combined cycle block consisting of the gas-fired units GCH-9 and GCH-10 and a steam turbine unit identified as GCH-12.[9]
Bolivia's national electricity agency ENDE has proposed the the addition of a 35 MW steam turbine to the gas-fired unit GCH-11 to create a second combined cycle block.[10][11]
The plant also has four smaller units (GCH-1, GCH-2, GCH-4 and GCH-6) with a combined generating capacity of approximately 80 MW.[12][13]
