Largest nuclear power plants in the Gulf, South Asia and South East Asia
103 nuclear records carry a capacity figure: 82.0 GW in total, of which 18.6 GW across 33 records is operating. Two lists, because a running plant and an announced one are not the same kind of fact. Every row links to its record and its public source.

Largest nuclear power plants under construction or announced
Capacity as announced by the source. A concept-stage figure means a public source names the project and a number, nothing more.

Questions about the largest nuclear power plants
What is the largest operating nuclear power plant in the Gulf, South Asia and South East Asia?+
By capacity on record, Barakah nuclear power plant 1 in the United Arab Emirates at 1,417 MW. Solandor ranks operating plants by the capacity figure in the public source named on each record, whole project rather than any partner's share, and does not adjust for phased commissioning unless the source records the phases separately.
What is the largest nuclear power plant planned or under construction in the region?+
El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant in Egypt at 4,800 MW, under construction. Announced capacity is kept in a separate list from operating capacity here because the two are different kinds of fact: 18.6 GW of the 82.0 GW on record for nuclear is running.
How is this ranking compiled?+
From 103 published nuclear records that carry a capacity figure, sorted by that figure. Each record names the public dataset it came from and links the page it was taken from. Records without a stated capacity are not ranked; a missing figure is not zero.
