plant_annual_gen	Average annual power generation. To be used in combination with the following plant_annual_gen_year parameter. `GW·h` suffix will auto added for number without unit or any text appended.
plant_annual_gen_year	Given generation value exact description. If no description is given, it will default to Annual (i.e. it will expand to Annual generation). Enter following text: `Planned net` if given data is a planned estimate net output `Planned gross` if given data is a planned estimate gross output `YYYY net`, if given data is year YYYY net output `YYYY gross` if given data is year YYYY gross output `Annual net` if given data is a average net output `Annual gross` if given data is a average gross output
website	Raw wikitext for entering website(s). Use [brackets] where appropriate
extras	Free form, spans both columns. Use sparingly.

Coordinates

The coordinates should be specified using coordinates – with a {{coord}} template. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Parameters for more details about setting the coordinates_type.
