Open data on every power plant
Global power plant database
Capacity, fuel, owner, location and emissions for 42,731 power plants worldwide — one clean, source-cited page each. Built entirely on open data (WRI, Climate TRACE, EPA, EU ETS, Open-Meteo), with owner portfolios, rankings and climate context no map or dataset offers.

What makes these pages different
Incumbents publish datasets, maps and PDFs — not pages. Climate TRACE's facilities live only as map markers; WRI is a CSV; Global Energy Monitor is a wiki. PowerAtlas turns the same open data into a clean indexable page per plant and per company, adds the things nobody aggregates — owner fleet footprints, dirtiest-plant rankings, human-scale CO₂ equivalents and fuel-specific climate context — each figure linked to its public source.
Engineering tools that use this data
These directories are the data layer. To turn a plant's conditions into numbers, use the heat-loss calculators (pipes, valves, flanges, HRSG lines, whole plant), or walk a plant room component by component in the Visual Heat Explorer.
CCGT engineering resource
From the global HRSG fleet to one plant's heat retained
Explore the PowerAtlas CCGT / HRSG fleet, then calculate heat retained on Upper and Lower HP/IP lines in the HRSG line calculator.
