Nameplate capacity, also known as the rated capacity, nominal capacity, installed capacity, maximum effect or gross capacity, [1] is the intended full-load sustained output of a facility such as a power station, [2] [3] electric generator, a chemical plant, [4] fuel plant, mine, [5] metal refinery, [6] and many others. Nameplate capacity is the ...
Phase three includes eight dams on the upper stream of the Jinsha River. The total generating capacity is 8,980 MW. The total combined capacity of the Jinsha complex with the Three Gorges complex will be 103,203 MW. Preliminary plans exist for the construction of the next largest hydroelectric power station with an installed capacity of 39,000 ...
Capacity utilization or capacity utilisation is the extent to which a firm or nation employs its installed productive capacity (maximum output of a firm or nation). It is the relationship between output that is produced with the installed equipment, and the potential output which could be produced with it, if capacity was fully used. [1]
Three Gorges Dam in China, currently the largest hydroelectric power station, and the largest power-producing body ever built, at 22,500 MW. This article lists the largest power stations in the world, the ten overall and the five of each type, in terms of installed electrical capacity.
The net capacity factor is the unitless ratio of actual electrical energy output over a ... the largest power generating station in the world by installed capacity ...
Fossil fuels—mainly coal and natural gas—remain the backbone of electricity generation in the U.S., accounting for 68% of installed generation capacity in 2010 and 63.1% in 2022. Coal production has fallen significantly since 2007 with most of the losses being replaced by natural gas, but also a growing fraction of non-hydroelectric renewables.

Capacity credit (CC, also capacity value [1] or de-rating factor [2]) is the fraction of the installed capacity of a power plant which can be relied upon at a given time (typically during system stress), [3] frequently expressed as a percentage of the nameplate capacity.
