| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Operating[2] | fossil liquids: diesel, fossil liquids: fuel oil[3][4] | 72[2] | gas turbine[5] | no | 1979 |
| 3 | Operating[2] | fossil liquids: diesel, fossil liquids: fuel oil[3][4] | 72[2] | gas turbine[5] | no | 1981 |
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.
