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 site hosting the Yerevan 2 power station earlier housed the 550-MW Yerevan thermal power plant, a seven-unit thermal plant using both gas and oil as fuel since 1963. The old plant was decommissioned, upon the inauguration of the Yerevan 1 power station in 2010. The Yerevan 1 plant was constructed by a consortium of Mitsui and GS Engineering and Construction, between 2007 and 2010. ArmPower signed a land purchase agreement with the Yerevan Thermal Power Plant in March 2017 and received environmental approval for the project from the Ministry of Nature Protection of Armenia in July 2017. The 250-MW combined-cycle power plant is equipped with an SGT5-2000E gas turbine, an SST-600 steam turbine, two SGen-100A generators, and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) from Siemens.[13]
In 2023, the output at the Yerevan 1 power station decreased by 22%, while at the Yerevan 2 power station it increased by 50%. The reason lies in the obligations that the state undertook when it signed a contract with the shareholders of the station – the Italian company Renco and the German company Siemens – several years ago. The station sells electricity to the grid for 5.7 cents per kilowatt-hour, but only if it operates at a load of 90% or higher. Otherwise, increasing coefficients are applied (the lower the load, the more expensive the electricity). This provision was adopted to ensure that investors receive guaranteed revenue under any circumstances. As a result, to avoid overpaying ArmPower, more electricity is purchased from it than from the Yerevan 1 power station, which is owned by the Armenian government.[15]
