List of largest power stations in the world

Contents

This article lists the five largest power stations in the world of each type, in terms of current installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils and natural gas, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat, tides, waves and the wind. Only the most significant fuel source are listed for power stations that run on multiple sources.

At present, the largest power generating facility ever built is the Three Gorges Dam in China. The facility generates power by utilizing 29 turbines, with 5 more units (3 × 700 MW, 2 × 50 MW) under construction. Each of the current operational units has a capacity of 700 MW,[1][2] totalling the installed capacity to 20,300 MW, more than twice the installed capacity of the largest nuclear power station, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa at 8,212 MW. Upon full completion of the Three Gorges Dam in 2011, the total installed capacity would top 22,500 MW.

Although currently only a proposal, the Grand Inga Dam in Congo would surpass all existing power stations, including the Three Gorges Dam, if construction commences as planned in 2014. The design targets to top 39,000 MW in installed capacity, nearly twice that of the Three Gorges.[3][4][5] At the time of the dam's initial proposal, this was sufficient to meet the entire power demand of the African continent.[6]
