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
In September 2021, a new 432-MW gas turbine power plant was built at the premises of the Lebap power station. The plant is sometimes referred to as Zerger power station. The project was implemented by Turkmenenergo together with foreign partners – Japanese companies Sumitomo Corporation and Mitsubishi Power Ltd, and Turkish Rönesans Holding. Sumitomo Corporation began construction and installation work at the power generation facility in November 2018. The subcontracting work was carried out by Rönesans Holding. The new power plant has three gas turbines with the capacity of 144 MW each: the M701DA gas turbines manufactured by Mitsubishi Power Ltd were installed at this power plant for the first time in Central Asia. With the commissioning of the new plant, the capacity of the existing Lebap power station reached 581.2 MW. The construction of the new power station also made it possible to increase the volume of electricity export to Afghanistan and countries of Central Asia, including Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.[20] The plant will use gas from the Üçajy Gas Field delivered via a 125-km high-pressure pipeline.[21]
In February 2022, the government of Turkmenistan discussed potential transition of the 432-MW power station to a combined cycle operation mode.[22] As of March 2024, there have not been any updates about the project.
