PowerAtlas answers

PowerAtlas is an open, source-labelled directory of 42,785 power plants. It keeps plant capacity, fuel, owner, location and CO2 provenance visible instead of mixing measured, modelled and calculated values.

No. In this build, 1,157 plant CO2 records are regulator-measured and 2,998 are modelled. Pages label the provenance in the data-status block, and calculated estimates are not used as a standalone indexability signal.

Use the plant page for the specific facility identity, capacity, fuel, owner, coordinates and CO2 provenance label. Country, fuel and ranking hubs are better for complete list and comparison tasks.

The backbone uses WRI Global Power Plant Database and Global Energy Monitor. Emissions and enrichment layers use source-labelled EPA, EU ETS, Climate TRACE and official national registers where matched with confidence.
