List of largest power stations in the world

The following page lists the

largest power stations in the world in

terms of 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
rays, tides, waves and the wind. Only the most significant fuel source are
listed for power stations that run on multiple sources.
