Our catalog draws from 12 public data sources including the WRI Global Power Plant Database, EIA, IAEA PRIS, HIFLD, and OpenStreetMap. Totals represent tracked plants only, a large and representative subset of global installed capacity, not a claim to every plant on Earth.
Each fuel page lists the largest tracked plants, the countries that lead in that fuel, and links directly into the nrgmap app to explore the full dataset on an interactive world map.
