Power Stations API

Use this API to add searchable power-station reference data to energy maps, infrastructure catalogs, market research tools, and education products. It returns normalized JSON records with practical filters, capacity and commissioning fields where available, source-page attribution, and reference endpoints for countries, continents, generation types, fuels, and source pages.
