Frequently asked questions
What is PowerAtlas?
PowerAtlas is an open, source-labelled directory of 42,731 power plants. It keeps plant capacity, fuel, owner, location and CO2 provenance visible instead of mixing measured, modelled and calculated values.
Are all plant CO2 figures measured?
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.
How do I use a plant page?
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.
Which sources are used?
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.
How should I cite a plant page?
Cite the page URL plus the methodology page. For data reuse, use the linked Zenodo records and the downloadable CSV when available.
