Missing Sources[edit]

The source for the capacity of the Bath County PSP is missing and makes the number unverifiable without doing an actual search for the information. ExtremelyGenericUser (talk) 17:54, 17 October 2017 (UTC) The capacity for the Chief Josef Dam is also missing a source. ExtremelyGenericUser (talk) 17:54, 17 October 2017 (UTC) Same goes for the source of the Robert Niagara Power Plant's capacity number. ExtremelyGenericUser (talk) 17:54, 17 October 2017 (UTC) The John Day Dam is missing a source for it's capacity as well. ExtremelyGenericUser (talk) 17:54, 17 October 2017 (UTC) The Hoover Dam and the Dalles Dam have the same problem. Is there any reason in particular none of these dams have sources for this?

installed /total installed capacity[edit]

What is difference between 'total installed capacity' (102GW) and 'installed capacity' (80 GW)? Linefeed (talk) 13:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
