What is the Global Power Plant Database?

SynopsisThe Global Power Plant Database is a comprehensive, open source database of power plants around the world. It centralizes power plant data to make it easier to navigate, compare and draw insights for one’s own analysis.

How many power plants are there?

The database covers approximately 30,000 power plants from 164 countries and includes thermal plants (e.g. coal, gas, oil, nuclear, biomass, waste, geothermal) and renewables (e.g. hydro, wind, solar). Each power plant is geolocated and entries contain information on plant capacity, generation, ownership, and fuel type.

Where can I download the global power Planet Database?

The Global Power Planet Database is available under a CC BY 4.0 license Data download page: Download v1.3 from here Dataset created by: World Resources Institute Curated in GEE by: Samapriya Roy Keywords: : infrastructure, energy, climate, power, power-plants, wri

Where can I find generation unit-level information?

Generation unit-level information is not currently available. The methodology for the dataset creation is given in the World Resources Institute publication "A Global Database of Power Plants". Associated code for the creation of the dataset can be found on GitHub.
