Power Plants API

The world's power infrastructure, queryable. WRI's Global Power Plant Database (CC BY 4.0): 34,936 plants across 167 countries β€” from the Three Gorges Dam (22,500 MW, the planet's largest) to 10,665 solar farms β€” each with capacity, coordinates, primary and secondary fuels, commissioning year, owner, and the latest reported annual generation with its year (Hoover Dam NV: 2,175.7 GWh in 2019) plus a model-estimated figure where reporting is absent. Search by name or owner, filter by country, fuel and minimum capacity (USA + Nuclear = 58 plants, Palo Verde first at 4,209.6 MW), pull capacity aggregates by fuel or country (global coal: 2,330 plants, 1.97 TW; nuclear: 195 plants, 408 GW), or ask what's near a point (Las Vegas β†’ a 358.9 MW gas station 7.1 km out). Energy analytics, grid research, ESG screening, site selection, journalism and climate tooling β€” the reference open dataset for the world's generation fleet.
