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!
