Table 2: Unit-level details

Unit name Status Fuel(s) Capacity (MW) Technology CHP Start year
1 Operating[2] fossil gas: natural gas[3][4] 80[3][4] gas turbine[3][4] yes[2] 2016[3][4]
2 Operating[2] fossil gas: natural gas[3][4] 80[3][4] gas turbine[3][4] yes[2] 2016[3][4]

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.
