The largest on record

Operating plants ranked by the capacity figure in the public source named on each record. Announced and under-construction projects are ranked separately on each page, because a plan and a plant are different kinds of fact. Whole project, not ownership share; no figure, no rank.

Technologies without a ranking (Hydrogen, grid, efficiency) are listed on the project database; their records rarely carry a comparable capacity figure.
