Description

Currently the database only contains plants that are believed to be operational.
Adding plants that are in planning, under construction, or shutdown would add an improved understanding of where the power sector was and where it is going.

Possible Steps to Acquisition

  1. Need to add an "Operational Status" field to the database
  2. Need to compile historic data if shutdown plants are to be included

Possible Data Sources

[TODO]

Challenges

At the plant-level aggregation, it will be challenging to demonstrate that there is some shutdown capacity, operational capacity, and planned capacity. Will probably need to have disaggregation to the unit level to handle this attribute.

Additional Info

keywords: future, planning, construction, operation, status, mothballed
