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
Siekierki is a combined heat and power plant at Augustówka in Warsaw, Poland. It has power generation capacity of 622 MW. Construction work on the station started in 1958, and in 1961 the first 50 MW unit went in service. Three further units followed in 1962, increasing its power to 200 MW. The first four units have been retired. Five more units totaling 618 MW were built between 1961 and 1975. Previously owned by Vattenfall, it was now owned by PGNiG.[5][6]
As of August 2024, the power station was planned to cease burning coal by 2035.[7]
Proposed plant
In 2010, it was reported that Vattenfall decided to cancel the Opalenie power station. The company would potentially continue plans to build a new unit at the Warsaw-based Siekierki power station.[8] That plan was also later cancelled.
