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 coal-fired power plant had a gross capacity of 354 MW, with a net output of 323 MW. It was commissioned in 1970. The coal plant was expected to be closed in 2019 and replaced with a 190 MW gas plant.[4][5]
The coal plant was closed in April 2019.[6]
Proposed plant
An 800-MW extension at Kiel had been proposed. In 2008, Power in Europe reported that the project had been "postponed for three years" and that the company would "wait to see what happens with carbon capture and storage technology before proceeding with a big central plant." The newsletter noted that the project had been put on the backburner following protests.[7]
2009: Project Abandoned
According to Deutsche Umweltshilfe, the project was abandoned in 2009 due to political pressure from a new local government. Instead, assessments were being undertaken for a gas plant.[8]
