Primary fuels in these records
Counts cover 375 records after excluding 125 with non-generating status labels. They are not generation shares. WRI provides the identity backbone; capacities also include GEM and individually cited corrections.
The listed capacity sum combines different reference dates and entity scopes. It is not current national installed capacity. Unknown status does not establish operation.

CO₂ source coverage
Regulator-reported: 0; Climate TRACE estimate: 95; PowerAtlas calculation: 120; Other source value: 0; Not applicable: 115; Not reported: 45.
These categories cover the capacity subset. Source years differ; the figures are not added into a same-year national or owner emissions total.
Highest reported source values
Each bar is a record-level annual source value, not a same-year ranking of current plants. Follow the plant links below for sources and reference periods. Calculated values are counted separately and are not included in this chart.
