| | + | 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. Each power plant is geolocated and entries contain information on plant capacity, generation, ownership, and fuel type. As of June 2018, the database includes around 28,500 power plants from 164 countries. It will be continuously updated as data becomes available. The most recent release of the Global Power Plant Database 1.1 includes the addition of two countries (China and Fiji), over 3,000 power plants, and nearly 1300 gigawatts of power capacity. We highly recommend using version 1.1, available online as of June 2018. |

- Net electrical output capacity (MW)
- Gross electrical output capacity (MW)
- Operational status (in operation, in planning, out of service, etc.)
- Build date
- Efficiency
- Marginal cost
- CO2 emissions in tonnes CO2 per MWh
- Operator name
- Owner name

[edit] Power Explorer / Global Power Plant Database
The World Resources Institue and partners have been working since 2015 on Power Explorer, aiming to publish global comprehensive standarized open power system data and activley is looking for contributors.
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. Each power plant is geolocated and entries contain information on plant capacity, generation, ownership, and fuel type. As of June 2018, the database includes around 28,500 power plants from 164 countries. It will be continuously updated as data becomes available. The most recent release of the Global Power Plant Database 1.1 includes the addition of two countries (China and Fiji), over 3,000 power plants, and nearly 1300 gigawatts of power capacity. We highly recommend using version 1.1, available online as of June 2018.
The methodology for the dataset creation is given in the World Resources Institute publication "A Global Database of Power Plants"
The database can be visualized on Resource Watchtogether with hundreds of other datasets.
The database is available for immediate download and use through the WRI Open Data Portal.
Associated code for the creation of the dataset can be found on GitHub. The bleeding-edge version of the database (which may contain substantial differences from the release you are viewing) is available on GitHub as well.

[edit] North-West EU 2020 Model
This is an open access Excel database of a North-West European Power System for a sample year 2020. Data and files were collected and complied by researchers at University College Cork, Ireland.
Simplified Power plant portfolios are contained in the *.rar file below [Master Dataset for Distribution]
An associated functioning PLEXOS model and database for teaching and academic research is also provided. The model and model data should be checked and verified by users before use. This current version has not been validated against historic data.
The PLEXOS model includes hourly wind profiles, demand profiles profiles, simplified power plant data, hourly solar profiles and NTC data for Interconnectors. There is a *.xml file [EU Model Carbon _30] which will function in the PLEXOS for Power Systems Software available from Energy Exemplar.
Any improvements/errors or suggestions on the data or model can be sent to Paul Deane [ jp.deane@ucc.ie]. This is a market model based on freely available data for the year 2020.
Please feel free to use as you wish.

[edit] powerplantmatching (PPM)
A toolset for cleaning, standardizing and combining multiple power plant databases. This package provides ready-to-use power plant data for the European power system. It cleans, standardizes and merges several input databases and creates a new dataset, which includes all the important information. The package allows to easily update the combined data as soon as new input datasets are released.
It is entirely free-and-open-source software (FOSS) and ready-to-download available at GitHub.
The application of the toolset has been broadly tested and peer-reviewed in these two papers here here and here.
Currently, the toolset is constantly being improved, please feel free to get in touch!
[edit] Enipedia
Enipedia has a nice list of energy and industry data sets
Enipedia's Elastic Search can search most of the open databases - the challenge is to match the different databases, combine their information and identify missing data (e.g. in the Balkans).
