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

The new combined cycle power plant, according to a 2020 non-technical summary, is being built to be able to operate in either an open cycle gas turbine or a combined cycle unit. The steam turbine which would allow the unit to function as a combined cycle unit is expected to be constructed the year following the completion of the gas turbine.[10]

Calenia Energia started the Environmental Impact Assessment process, according to the Ministero Della Transizione Ecologica, in August 2020. As of November 2021, it has not yet been completed. [11]

The development of this plant has been protested by grassroots activist organizations in Italy, notably the Spazio Association Cales.[12] As of Oct, 2022, the project is presumed shelved due to a lack of development since 2020.
