| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Operating[2] | fossil gas: natural gas[2][3] | 250[2] | combined cycle[4] | yes[4] | 2006[4] |
| 2 | Pre-construction[5] | bioenergy: unknown, fossil gas: natural gas[6] | 35[5] | unknown[5] | yes[5] | 2025 (planned)[6] |
| 2, timepoint 2 | Pre-construction[7] | bioenergy: wood & other biomass (solids)[7] | 39[7] | – | yes[5] | 2025 (planned)[8] |
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
As of January 2021, Goteborg Energi was planning to apply for a permit to switch the plants fuel from natural gas to biofuels.[10][11] They expect this conversion to be completed by 2027.
Goteborg also notes the possibility of burning hydrogen using their Siemens SGT-800 turbine, although the necessary infrastructure for doing so appears to be lacking.[12]
