Table 2: Unit-level details

Unit name Status Fuel(s) Capacity (MW) Technology CHP Start year
1 Operating[3][4] fossil gas: natural gas, fossil liquids: fuel oil[5][6] 170[5][7] steam turbine[6] not found 1985[7]
2 Operating[3][4] fossil gas: natural gas, fossil liquids: fuel oil[6] 170[7] steam turbine[7] not found 1985[7]

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.
