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 power station is one of the first Independent Power Companies in Nigeria.
In May 2013, the plant was commissioned.[12]
In November 2013, the Federal Government of Nigeria commenced selling shares from the ten gas-fired independent power generation companies under the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP).[13] The plants are Alaoji Power Station, Calabar Power Station, Egbema Power Station, Geregu Power Station in Kogi State, Ihovbor Power Station, Olorunsogo Power Station, Omoku Power Station, Omotosho power station; Gbarain Power station, and Ogorode power station.
The power plant has four 113 MW GE Frame 9E simple cycle gas turbines, which can be converted to combined-cycle gas turbines in the future.[12] [14]Only two gas turbines have been operating since the plant’s commissioning in 2013. They produce 225 MW into the grid when they are not faced with gas supply shortages from the Escravos-Lagos gas supply system.
The plant has two more newly announced units which are expected to come online in 2030.[15] These proposed units have 127 MW generating capacity each.[15]
