List of largest power stations#Wind
{{Short description|None}}
File:ThreeGorgesDam-China2009.jpg in China, currently the world's largest hydroelectric power station, and the largest power-producing facility ever built, at {{nowrap|22,500 MW}}]]
This article lists the largest power stations in the world, the ten overall and the five of each type, in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear fuel, natural gas, oil shale and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric, solar, and wind. Only the most significant fuel source is listed for power stations that run on multiple sources.
As of 2021, the largest power generating facility ever built is the Three Gorges Dam in China. The facility generates power by utilizing 32 Francis turbines each having a capacity of {{nowrap|700 MW}} and two {{nowrap|50 MW}} turbines, totalling the installed capacity to {{nowrap|22,500 MW}}, more than twice the installed capacity of the largest nuclear power station, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa (Japan) at {{nowrap|7,965 MW}}. As of 2019, no power station comparable to Three Gorges is under construction, as the largest under construction power station is the hydroelectric Baihetan Dam ({{nowrap|16,000 MW}}).{{cite web|title=A Brief History of Hydropower Development Baihetan |url=http://nn.lsz.gov.cn/lry.asp?id=164 |publisher=Baihetan China – Ningxia County Public Information Network |access-date=20 March 2011 |date=2 December 2009 |language=zh |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110823083909/http://nn.lsz.gov.cn/lry.asp?id=164 |archive-date=23 August 2011}}
Australia's proposed Darwin Solar Park, planned to power the Australia-Asia Power Link, is intended to have a capacity of 20,000 MW, which would be slightly below the capacity of the Three Gorges Dam.{{cite web|date=2021-09-28|title=World's biggest clean energy project to power Singapore from Australia|url=https://newatlas.com/energy/sun-cable-australia-singapore-solar-undersea-powerlink/|access-date=2021-12-05|website=New Atlas|language=en-US}}{{cite web|title=Australia-Asia PowerLink {{!}} Large Scale Renewable Energy|url=https://suncable.sg/australia-asia-power-link/|access-date=2021-12-05|website=Sun Cable|language=en-AU|archive-date=3 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211203161733/https://suncable.sg/australia-asia-power-link/|url-status=dead}} The capacity of the proposed Grand Inga Dam in the Democratic Republic of the Congo would surpass all existing power stations, including the Three Gorges Dam, if construction commences as planned. The design targets to top {{nowrap|39,000 MW}} in installed capacity, nearly twice that of the Three Gorges.{{Citation|title=Africa plans biggest dam project, the Grand Inga|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7358542.stm|work=BBC News|date=21 April 2008|access-date=21 March 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090417072605/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7358542.stm|archive-date=17 April 2009|url-status=live}}{{Citation|title=Development of the Grand Inga|url=http://www.internationalrivers.org/en/africa/grand-inga-grand-illusions|access-date=21 March 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100406035152/http://www.internationalrivers.org/en/africa/grand-inga-grand-illusions|archive-date=6 April 2010|url-status=live}}{{Citation|title=Grand Inga Dam|url=http://www.internationalrivers.org/en/node/345|access-date=21 March 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100514125233/http://www.internationalrivers.org/en/node/345|archive-date=14 May 2010|url-status=live}} Another proposal, Penzhin Tidal Power Plant Project, presumes an installed capacity up to {{nowrap|87,100 MW}}.
