Europe-wide database of conventional power plants over 20 MW
The contemporary directory of all power plants in Europe is the basic for building a merit-order model in order to simulate the electricity market, or in carrying out statistical analyses of the power generating sector.
The directory includes an extensive and up-to-date database with data on plant efficiency and it is regulary being updated.
Number of entries by energy source (status May 2020):
- Lignite: 423 (84 GW net)
- Hard coal: 765 (153 GW net)
- Natural gas: 1411 (270 GW net)
- Oil: 682 (75 GW net)
- Uranium: 175 (156 GW net)
