Key:plant:method

plant:source	plant:method	Description
nuclear	fission	plants using fission to produce heat, steam and then electricity
	fusion	plants using nuclear fusion to produce heat and then electricity
wind	wind_turbine	Wind turbine
hydro	water-storage	plant producing electricity with turbines fed by water coming from a lake behind a dam. Note: Power plants in Switzerland must have a storage capacity of at least 25% of the average expected winter production, otherwise they are plant:method=run-of-the-river plants.
	water-pumped-storage	plant producing electricity like plant:method=water-storage and additionaly able to pump water from a lower lake to the storage lake when needed.
	run-of-the-river	plant producing electricity with turbine using stream of a river (with no storage dam) Note: Power plants in Switzerland having storage dams with a capacity less than 25% of the average expected winter production are plant:method=run-of-the-river plants.
