What is "Ccgt" in that chart?

Natural gas. From their description: > CCGT: Combined Cycle Gas Turbine - These use Natural Gas to power a Turbine which turns a Generator. A second system uses the heat to produce steam which is used to turn a turbine which powers a generator. There are 39 CCGT power stations in the UK.

A steam engine that runs on the waste heat of a jet engine. Sort of.
