List of power plants
The list of power plants contains a selection of different power plants worldwide without a special selection criterion. All the important power plants of a country are listed sporadically (e.g. Macedonia ), but mostly only a few examples (e.g. France , China , United States ) or are missing completely (e.g. Japan ). Possibly more useful lists are linked under the sub-items or can be found in the See also section .
