The Global Power Plant Database is a comprehensive, open source database of power plants around the world. It centralizes power plant data to make it easier to navigate, compare and draw insights for one’s own analysis. The database covers approximately 35,000 power plants from 167 countries and includes thermal plants (e.g. coal, gas, oil, nuclear, biomass, waste, geothermal) and renewables (e.g. hydro, wind, solar). Each power plant is geolocated and entries contain information on plant capacity, generation, ownership, and fuel type. It will be continuously updated as data becomes available.

Global Power Plant Database by WRI. The Global Power Plant Database is a comprehensive database of power plants around the world compiled from many sources. Each power plant is has attributes on plant capacity, generation, ownership, and fuel type. As of April 2018, the database includes around 25,500 power plants from 162 countries. It will be continuously updated as data becomes available.

This dataset contains information about power plants worldwide, potentially including data on plant types, capacities, geographical locations, and other relevant details about power generation.

In 2017 the Joint Research Centre developed a Power Plant Database for energy systems modelling (JRC-PPDB) in order to support the unit activities in energy systems modelling and knowledge management.

As demand for open data is increasingly sought after, an open version (JRC-PPDB-OPEN), based on exclusively open data was designed. The JRC-PPDB-OPEN is primarily based on a collection of all the information published by ENTSO-E[1] on the European power plants at unit level. This information was extended, improved, and where possible corrected using information contained in open datasets published by WRI Powerwatch[2], Global energy observatory[3], FRESNA[4] and the EEA[5].

The JRC-PPDB-OPEN database is a first attempt towards a more detailed and coherent, albeit still incomplete, dataset of European power plants. Further work to expand and improve the information contained therein is called for. To this extend, and in order to facilitate the future involvement of third parties in such efforts, the associations between records in the different datasets (linkage) are included.

China has the greatest number of coal-fired power stations of any country or territory in the world. As of July 2024, there were 1,161 operational coal power plants on the Chinese Mainland. This was more than four times the number of such power stations in India, which ranked second. China accounts for over 50 percent of total global coal electricity generation. Coal phase-out worldwide Coal power plants present various health and environmental threats. Besides demanding large quantities of raw material to be burned, this energy source pollutes water and has high greenhouse gas emissions. Due to these reasons and to tackle the climate crisis, 40 countries committed to phase out their coal power plants at the COP26 summit in 2021. However, the three leading economies with the greatest number of operational coal-fired plants that year did not agree to the terms. In 2021, the global capacity of coal power plants in construction stood at 184.5 gigawatts with an additional 111.8 gigawatts announced. Carbon dioxide emissions China has been the largest coal polluter worldwide since 1990. In 2021, figures reached a record high of 7.96 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide. That year, India had the second largest carbon dioxide emissions from coal use, followed by the United States. The U.S. was either the largest or second-largest polluter for 55 years, before being overtaken by India.

China has the highest installed capacity of coal power plants in the world. As of July 2024, it operated coal plants with a combined capacity of 1,147.23 gigawatts. This was more than five times the operational capacity of coal plants in the United States, which ranked third. China's carbon dioxide emissions from coal combustion surpassed 8.2 billion metric tons in 2022 - roughly 70 percent of the country's total emissions. Coal power plant pipeline While coal use has come under harsh scrutiny over its highly polluting nature, the industry has continued investing in new coal-fired generation plants. The global installed coal power generation capacity is projected to remain at around 2.3 terawatts over the coming decades. Worldwide, about 204 gigawatts of new coal capacity was under construction in 2023, with a further 353 gigawatts in various stages of planning. However, the capacity of the coal plant pipeline has decreased over the last few years. These announced coal power plants around the world were primarily to serve the growth in coal demand from new power plants in India and China.
