Each fossil generator on this map is colour coded by current output in proportion to registered capacity (i.e. capacity factor). Larger icons represent larger registered capacities: large >250MW; medium > 100MW; small ≤ 100MW.

Today's Fossil Energy Production

The default, capacity factor graph shows the output as a percentage of registered capacity. Alternatively, you may view the actual output in megawatts.

Generators may be included or excluded from the graphs by toggling the check boxes. The total will update accordingly.
