This dataset is a compilation of Global Energy Monitor’s eight dedicated power sector trackers. Each tracker catalogs facilities above a certain threshold capacity (detailed below).

1. For more information on each facility, with references, see GEM.wiki pages (Column AO in 'power facilities' sheet)

2. For an explanation of the data compilation process, see "Methodology" on the Global Integrated Power Tracker website

3. A mapping tool for this data is available on the Global Integrated Power Tracker website

4. For summary statistics by country/area, region, etc., see "Summary Data" webpage

One of eight power technology groups (coal, oil/gas, solar, wind, hydropower, nuclear, bioenergy, geothermal)

The Country/area column presents energy data within various economic contexts, and the geographical unit does not strictly follow political boundaries

Preference is for a government provided name. Without that information, the name used by the owner or operating company is listed

Roman numerals are changed to numbers. If the owner uses non-sequential numbers or other characters, those are used

Plant / Project name (local)

Left blank for local languages that use the Roman/Latin alphabet. Otherwise local name(s) in local script provided if possible

Plant / Project name (other)

Total nameplate capacity, or best available data, of the project, in megawatts

One of 8 status categories, see rows 83-92 below for description

True if a project phase is dedicated for green hydrogen production. Only used for wind, solar, and geothermal trackers

Hydrogen capable: turbine - The turbine at the gas plant is capable of burning some % of hydrogen.
Hydrogen capable: progress - The gas plant has made some sort of progress beyond having a gas turbine that is hydrogen capable. This could include partnerships to secure hydrogen, announcements towards hydrogen infrastructure, or an actual hydrogen contract.
Using hydrogen - The plant is using hydrogen as a fuel.
no - The plant is not capable of using hydrogen.
not found - no information found

Country/area 1 (hydropower only)

Primary country/area where the project is located (unabbreviated)

If project is binational, Country/area 1 is either the country/area listed first in alphabetical order for projects where capacity is shared equally, or the country/area with a larger portion of the total project capacity.

Country/area 2 (hydropower only)

Additional country/area where the project is located (unabbreviated)

If project is binational, Country/area 2 is either the country/area listed second in alphabetical order for projects where capacity is shared equally, or the country/area with a smaller portion of the total project capacity.

Country/area 1 Capacity (MW) (hydropower only)

Gross capacity, or best available data, of the portion of the project which is located in Country/area 1, in megawatts, rounded to whole number

Capacity cutoffs mentioned above apply to the project as a whole, not necessarily to the portions of an international project which are within one country/area boundary.

Country/area 2 Capacity (MW) (hydropower only)

Gross capacity, or best available data, of the portion of the project which is located in Country/area 2, in megawatts, rounded to whole number

Capacity cutoffs mentioned above apply to the project as a whole, not necessarily to the portions of an international project which are within one country/area boundary.

The company that directly owns the project (as in, the lowest-level identified owner in the chain of ownership)

Highest-level project owner in the chain of ownership and ultimate parents (e.g., corporations, investment firms, and governments).

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is most relevant for in development projects.

oil/gas: conversion/replacement/change of plans/use of ST in CC set
bioenergy: gas to bioenergy conversion/coal to bioenergy conversion/oil to bioenergy conversion/no conversion

oil/gas options include:
conversion - converts the steam turbine of an existing plant to burn gas.
replacement - existing plant is retired and replaced with a new gas-fired plant.
change of plans - cases in which one or more units were planned and those plans were cancelled and subsequently gas units were planned at the same location.
use of ST in CC set - cases where there is a steam turbine (usually coal) and is then repurposed to be part of a gas-fired combined cycle unit. Can also be referred to as “repowering” into a combined cycle where gas turbine(s) and HSRGs are added to the existing steam turbine. Was labeled as "partial conversion" in previous GOGPT data releases
not found
bioenergy options include:
gas to bioenergy conversion - when a unit has been or will be converted from gas to bioenergy
coal to bioenergy conversion - when a unit has been or will be converted from coal to bioenergy
oil to bioenergy conversion - when a unit has been or will be converted from fossil oil to bioenergy
no conversion - unit is not associated with a conversion

Conversion from/replacement of (fuel)

Conversion from/replacement of (GEM unit ID)

GEM Unit ID of unit that is being converted from, or being replaced

The type of captive industry use. Options include: agriculture, aluminum, automobiles, cement & building, chemicals, coal mining & coal products, cryptocurrency, dairy, data center, electronics, hydrogen production, industrial park, iron & steel, machinery, nickel, nutrition, oil & refining, other, other metals & mining, pulp & paper, rubber, sugar, textiles, unknown

heat/power/both/none

"Captive" power plants are those that are within industrial facilities. These power plants typically supply most of their power (and if they're CHP, most of their heat as well) to the industrial facility. Options include: heat, power, both.

heat/power/both/none

Indicate if heat or power is used outside of the captive industrial facility or complex. 'None' indicates an entirely captive plant.

Approximate based on using nearest city or other information in research, or exact based on visibility on map or given in research

Major area (prefecture, district)

Subnational unit (state, province)

Subnational unit where project is located, usually state or province
