Combined Heat and Power Plant Locations and Capacities in Europe

Area-related information on combined heat and power plants is provided by the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie. The dataset includes plant location, installed capacity, and electricity feed-in to the public grid. It was last updated on 2025-12-19.

Use Cases

• Map CHP plant distribution based on location data
• Analyze installed capacity density based on area-related information
• Model electricity grid feed-in based on reported generation metrics

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie
• Includes key operational metrics like installed capacity and grid feed-in

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
