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
Humber Power Ltd was formed in 1991. It was a consortium of Midland Power, ABB Energy Ventures, Tomen Group, Fortum Group, British Energy and TotalFinaElf.[7]
On 29 May 2001, Centrica (as GB Gas Holdings Ltd) bought 60% of the power station, and with 40% owned by Chanter Petroleum (part of TOTAL Midstream Holdings UK Ltd) from Humber Power Ltd. The entire site was then run by Centrica, under the name South Humber Power Ltd.[7]
In September 2005, the station was bought (100%) by Centrica, costing £150 million (£46.5 million in cash).[7]
EP UK Investments Ltd bought South Humber Bank power station from Centrica in June 2017. EP UK is fully controlled by EP Power Europe, a.s. (EPPE) and EPPE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Energetický a průmyslový holding, a.s. (EPH).[8]
In 2021 the project applied for 1,400 MW existing generation (units 1 and 2) in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 auction, and they were listed in the final results.[9][10] This would qualify them for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[11]
A new 95 MW unit, to be fueled by municipal and industrial wastes, has been proposed at the same location. Plans call for the new unit to begin operation as early as 2025.[12]
