Use this infobox for all types of power stations. For hydroelectric power stations involving dams (except tidal facilities), please use {{Infobox dam}}.
Simply add {{Infobox power station}}
to the top of an article belonging to any type of power station, and the data will be automatically included from Wikidata. If necessary, these values can be overridden by passing local values to the relevant parameters in the article:
{{Infobox power station

Official name in native language. |
image | image (P18) |
Image filename without File: prefix. |
image_size | N/A | Force image and location map size to a value other than 300px |
image_caption | media legend (P2096) |
Caption beneath image. |
image_alt | N/A | Alternative text for image. Only local parameter supported. |
location_map_caption | N/A | Force a caption below the location map |
location_map_zoom | N/A | Force a different zoom for the location map. Defaults to 5. |
location_map_geomask | N/A | Add Yes to darken surrounding areas, and zoom out to country-level.
|
coordinates | coordinate location (P625) |
Geographical coordinates. Use {{Coord}} for local use. |
country | country (P17) |
Country where the facility is located, without flag icons |
location | location (P276) |
General area the power station is located. Avoid being overly-detailed. |
status | This parameter is based on construction_began , commissioned , and decommissioned parameters (see the 3 next rows). • If none of the above parameters are set, the status parameter will be suppressed. • If construction_began is not empty, but commissioned and decommissioned is empty: Under construction • If commissioned is not empty, but decommissioned is empty: Operational • If decommissioned not empty: Decommissioned • To set the status to Cancelled, set state of use (P5817) as cancelled (Q30108381). • To set the status to Proposed, set state of use (P5817) as proposed building or structure (Q811683). |
Current status. Enter one of the following auto-expanding codes:P =Proposed,UC =Under construction,O =Operational,M =Mothballed,B =Being decommissioned,D =Decommissioned,C =Project cancelled.
|
construction_began | significant event (P793) with value construction (Q385378) and qualifiers:start time (P580) (and optionally, end time (P582) ) |
Date construction of the first unit began. Use {{Start date}}. |
commissioned | service entry (P729) |
Date first unit commissioned. Use {{Start date}}. |
decommissioned | service retirement (P730) |
Date last unit decommissioned. Use {{End date}}. |
cost | cost (P2130) with qualifier point in time (P585) |
Total cost of development. For non-USD values, consider using: {{To USD|$$$$|ABC|YYYY}} using the value, country code, and year, respectively.
|
owner | owned by (P127) |
Owner(s) of the power station. |
operator | operator (P137) |
Operator(s), if different from owner. |
employees | employees (P1128) with qualifier point in time (P585) |
