- Portal:Power Plants - documentation about this project
- Interactive full map featuring all power plants in Australia.
- KML file for Google Earth
of all the power plants on Enipedia.
- Australia gives a larger overview of energy production and use in Australia, beyond that of electricity production.
- If a power plant is missing, a new power plant can be added here
Dataset Overview
There are currently 765 powerplants listed for Australia. Of these, 534 do not have a fuel type specified, and 0 do not have coordinates specified for them.
Maintenance pages
These pages are meant to help with fixing issues in the dataset.
- Power plants with references - shows a list of power plants in Australia, along with references and notes associated with them.
- Power plants without coordinates - we don't know where these plants are located.
- Power plants without fuel types - we don't know what fuel these plants use.
- Power plants without power conversion units - we don't have information on the individual power conversion units for these power plants. Many of these units (usually a boiler + turbine + generator) may exist for a given power plant.
