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
This project originated as the redevelopment of the former Leipheim Airbase with a power plant. The capacity was up to 1200 MW.[17] It was developed by SWU Stadtwerke Ulm, and evolved into a 600 MW plant.[18] In February of 2021 Lausitz Energie (LEAG) obtained 100% interest in the project, now 300 MW.[19] Siemens Energy, who will handle construction, also note that the turbine is capable of using hydrogen as part of its mix of fuels.[20][21]
