| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Operating[2] | fossil liquids: heavy fuel oil[3] | 45[3] | steam turbine[3] | not found | – |
| 2 | Operating[4] | fossil gas: natural gas[5][6] | 80[5][6] | gas turbine[5] | no[4] | 2015[6][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.
