Get Global Power
get_global_powerQuery global power plant units (operating and pipeline) across all fuels, with capacity, status, coordinates, and owner. Filter by country, fuel, status, or minimum capacity for international energy analysis.
Instructions
Use when a user asks about power plants/units WORLDWIDE or in a NON-US country — operating AND the forward pipeline (announced / pre-construction / under-construction), across ALL fuels (coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal). Global Energy Monitor Global Integrated Power Tracker: 182,000+ geolocated units across 170+ countries, each with fuel, capacity (MW), status, start year, operator/owner and lat/lng. Filter by country (e.g. Germany, India, Brazil, Japan), fuel (comma-union: coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro), status, pipeline=true (JUST the forward set: announced + pre-construction + construction), bbox (minLng,minLat,maxLng,maxLat), or min_mw. Returns a summary (total MW by fuel + count by status) plus the largest units. Try: get_global_power country=India pipeline=true. Do NOT use for US grid telemetry/headroom (use get_grid_intelligence / get_grid_scoreboard) or the US planned-generator feed (use get_power_pipeline) — this is the GLOBAL asset inventory.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| bbox | No | Viewport filter as minLng,minLat,maxLng,maxLat | |
| fuel | No | Fuel/type filter, comma-separated for a union: coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal | |
| limit | No | Max results to return (1-500; default varies by tool) | |
| min_mw | No | Minimum unit capacity in MW | |
| status | No | Status substring filter, e.g. operating, construction, pre-construction, announced | |
| country | No | Country/area name to filter, e.g. Germany, India, Brazil, Japan | |
| pipeline | No | true = ONLY the forward pipeline (announced + pre-construction + under-construction) |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| quota | No | Caller quota state (remaining calls, tier) when available. | |
| _entity | No | Payload class discriminator (e.g. facility|market|iso_grid|queue_results|deal|report|response) — branch on this before parsing the rest. | |
| citation | No | Machine-readable citation: how to attribute DC Hub (dchub.cloud) for this payload. | |
| provenance | No | Collection-level provenance block: {source, method, as_of, verification_counts, cite_url_template, license, cite_as}. Quote the verification level when citing. | |
| _front_door | No | In-band front-door hint (first workflow-entry tool of a session): call plan_query(intent) first for the ordered multi-step plan. | |
| _return_loop | No | Suggested next-session delta call (get_changes since=24h) so you pull only what changed. | |
| site_evaluation_handoff | No | Pre-built follow-up calls (analyze_site / get_water_risk args) when the payload carries coordinates — an array of {tool, parameters, why} entries. |
