| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year | Retired year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| K1 | Retired[2] | fossil gas: natural gas[2] | 35.8[2] | gas turbine[3] | yes[4] | 1995[2] | 2024[5] |
| K4 | Operating[6][7] | fossil gas: natural gas[5] | 66[5] | combined cycle[8] | yes[8] | 2022[5][7] | – |
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
At the paper mill, a new gas-fired unit, K4, with electric-generating capacity of 68 MW, was proposed (as of November 2019) to be built and operated by E.On, to replace the existing K1 gas-fired unit with capacity of 81 MW capacity.[9]
Also a new waste-to-energy unit, K3, with 50 MW capacity was under construction (as of April 2020) by Wheelabrator Technologies.[10][11] It came online in July 2020.[12]
In 2021 "Kemsley CHP Limited" is listed in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 final auction results with a 2024 delivery date.[13][14] This would qualify it for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[15]
