Unit name Status Fuel(s) Capacity (MW) Technology CHP Start year
CHP, timepoint 1 Pre-construction[2][3] fossil gas: natural gas, other: other[2][4][5] 200[4][5] gas turbine[4][6] yes[7] 2026 (planned)[2][5]
CHP, timepoint 2 Pre-construction[2][3][5] other: hydrogen (green), other: hydrogen (blue)[2][4][5] 200[8][4] gas turbine[4][6] yes[7] 2028 (planned)[2][5]

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.
