The locations of power generation facilities that are operating, under construction or planned are shown by type – including thermal, hydroelectricity, solar (PV), wind and biomass/biogas.
Generation sites are marked with different sized circles to show sites of 10-94MW, 50-199MW, 200-499MW and 500MW and above.
Existing and future transmission and distribution lines are shown ranging from 132kV to 330kV. Actual and planned cross-border interconnectors are also shown.
