Resources
- Portal:Power Plants - documentation about this project
- Interactive full map featuring all power plants in United States.
- KML file for Google Earth
of all the power plants on Enipedia.
- United States gives a larger overview of energy production and use in United States, beyond that of electricity production.
- If a power plant is missing, a new power plant can be added here
Dataset Overview
There are currently 9,444 powerplants listed for United States. Of these, 5,528 do not have a fuel type specified, and 15 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 United States, 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.
