| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mothballed[2][3] | fossil gas: natural gas[4] | 348[4][5] | combined cycle[6][3] | yes[6] | 1997[6] |
| 2 | Operating[2][5] | fossil gas: natural gas[4] | 418[4][5] | combined cycle[6] | yes[6] | 2012[4] |
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
RWE subsidiary Essent built the two units.[8] Essent is now RWE Generation SE.[9]
According to RWE, Unit 1 of Moerdijk was mothballed in February 2018.[10][11] However, according to the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity Transparency Platform, Moerdijk 1 produced electricity in 2021.[12] As of November, 2022, this is the latest recorded power generation using the unit, and it is presumed mothballed.
