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
To ensure reliability and provide energy when customers need it the most, Duke Energy added a new 402-MW (according to Form EIA-860M, 536.4-MW[6]) simple-cycle combustion turbine generator to its existing Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station. The new unit synced to the grid for the first time in May 2020, and a four-year testing process (2020-2024) is underway. When fully operational in 2024, the new unit will be the most efficient simple-cycle combustion turbine in Duke Energy's fleet and about 34% more efficient than the existing combustion turbines at the Lincoln station.[7]
Duke Energy and Siemens Energy have an innovative agreement that allows Siemens Energy to test its newest advanced natural gas combustion turbine technology, the SGT6-9000HL (the fuel can contain up to 50% of hydrogen), at the Lincoln site. Duke Energy customers receive the unit's energy during the four-year testing period while only paying some fuel costs. When extended technology testing is completed in 2024, Duke Energy will begin operating the unit, which will supply enough energy to power more than 300,000 homes in the Carolinas.[7] The unit is expected to become fully operational in October 2024.[8]
In 2022, Duke Energy's Lincoln Combustion Turbine station was "certified with the official Guinness World Records title for the most powerful simple-cycle gas power plant."[9][10]
