| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IC1 | Operating[2] | fossil liquids: heavy fuel oil[3] | 133[2][4] | ICCC[5] | not found | 1981[6] |
| IC2 | Pre-construction[5][7] | bioenergy: unknown, fossil gas: natural gas[3][8][5] | 130[8][5][7] | ICCC[5] | not found | 2026 (planned)[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.

Background
In November 2020 a proposal for biofuel was floated to replace natural gas.[10] The fuel type for the plant remains unclear in March 2021.[11] As of December 2021, the proposal is for total of 250 MW through engines.[12] EDF expects it to come online by 2025 or 2026.
