Power Plants (Power output MW)
Data for power plants with total installed generating capacity > 10 mw from the Platts World Electric Power Plants Database (WEPP 2006). Plants were georeferenced using location information from the WEPP, auxiliary GIS datasets, World Bank project documents and the internet. Locations are approximate, precision varies greatly by point, based on the source of coordinate information. The following attributes are included: PLANT: power plant name, STATUS: status (OPR, CON, PLN, OTHER, UNK), SUM_MW: total installed generating capacity, LATITUDE: approximate location, latitude, LONGITUDE: appro
