The Power Plants Around the World Photo Gallery is a collaborative project undertaken with electricity companies, individual power stations, equipment and service
suppliers, photographers, and power plant enthusiasts. Some operating costs are offset by purchases of Power Plant Trading Cards,
paid or in-kind sponsorship by members of the electric power community, and Google ads. New photographs are always welcome!
