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 power station was built in Crimea, a Ukrainian territory occupied by the Russian Federation.[13]
The construction of Balaklava and Tavri power stations became the subject of an international scandal involving Siemens. In 2015, a subsidiary of Rostec, Technopromexport JSC, bought 4 gas turbines from Siemens for a power plant project on the Taman Peninsula. However, later the company resold them to another subsidiary of Rostec, Technopromexport LLC, which was engaged in the construction of power plants in Crimea.[14] In the summer of 2017, Siemens called this a violation of the terms of the contract. The company challenged the contracts for the supply of turbines in the Moscow Arbitration Court, but the claim was dismissed.[14] The European Union and the United States imposed sanctions on two officials of the Ministry of Energy, presumed responsible for the transfer of turbines to the Crimean power stations.[14]
As of December 2023, the power station is operational.[15][16]
New construction proposal
In February 2024, due to the forecasted power shortage in the Crimea, Rostec proposed construction of additional generation (250 MW) by 2027-2028 using Russian gas turbines (GTE-110) for, at least, 51% of the installed capacity. According to Rostec, the remaining capacity can be supplied by Iranian turbine manufacturers. The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade insists on building capacities using entirely Russian technologies, also proposing to consider gas turbines manufactured by Power Machines. The project was approved by the Russian president. The tender for the construction of generation is planned to be held as a single lot in the second quarter of 2024.[17]
