How to map

For a enclosed power plant, draw the outline and add:

• power=plant
• plant:source=hydro
• plant:method=*
  • plant:method=water-storage - Power plant producing electricity with turbines fed by water coming from a lake behind a dam
  • plant:method=water-pumped-storage - Pumped-storage hydroelectricity
  • plant:method=run-of-the-river - Run-of-the-river hydroelectricity
• plant:output:electricity=*
• name=*
• operator=*
• start_date=*

In the case of plant:method=water-pumped-storage, the plant:storage=* tag can be used to record the maximum amount of energy stored.
