Description | List of renewable energy power stations |
Notes | This Data Package contains a list of renewable energy power plants in lists of renewable energy-based power plants of Germany, Denmark, France and Poland. Germany: More than 1.7 million renewable power plant entries, eligible under the renewable support scheme (EEG). Denmark: Wind and phovoltaic power plants with a high level of detail. France: Aggregated capacity and number of installations per energy source per municipality (Commune). Poland: Summed capacity and number of installations per energy source per municipality (Powiat). Due to different data availability, the power plant lists are of different accurancy and partly provide different power plant parameter. Due to that, the lists are provided as seperate csv-files per country and as separate sheets in the excel file. Suspect data or entries with high probability of duplication are marked in the column 'comment'. Theses validation markers are explained in the file validation_marker.csv. Filtering all entries with comments out results in the recommended data set. Additionally, the Data Package includes a daily time series of cumulated installed capacity per energy source type for Germany. All data processing is conducted in Python and pandas and has been documented in the Jupyter Notebooks linked below. |
