Data sources & correction policy
PowerAtlas is compiled exclusively from open, commercially-usable datasets. Company-level facts only.
Sources
- Power plants (backbone): WRI Global Power Plant Database (CC BY 4.0) — capacity, fuel, owner, coordinates, generation.
- Asset-level CO₂: measured US EPA GHGRP and EU ETS verified emissions; modelled Climate TRACE estimates (CC BY 4.0) — matched to plants by location + name.
- Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0).
- Regions: reverse-geocoded offline from open coordinates.
- Maps: © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), loaded on demand.
What we don't publish
No personal data. Climate-impact figures are clearly labelled estimates based on typical derating curves — not site measurements.
Methodology & review
Each plant page is computed directly from the open datasets above — capacity and generation as reported, climate context from offline Köppen-Geiger normals, and equivalencies via the US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. Derived figures are labelled estimated; reported figures link to their public source. We make no projections beyond what the sources state, and we do not editorialise. The dataset is refreshed when upstream sources publish new releases. Spotted an error? Use the correction link below — we review every report against the cited source.
