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. On request, additional information of power plant specifics can be implemented.
Number of entries by energy source (Status December 2018):
- Lignite: 417
- Hard coal: 762
- Natural gas: 1383
- Oil: 680
- Uranium: 167
