Tools for this tag

The source of energy produced by a generator.

If the generator forms part of a power plant, this energy source should also be listed in the plant's plant:source=* tag.

Suggested values

Value Description
2020 stBN powergensource nuclear.svg nuclear All generators converting nuclear power to another kind of energy. It can be either fission or fusion, according to generator:method=*

Generator releasing energy previously stored in a battery

Take care when choosing the source. For example, a power generator that takes waste as its primary fuel, turns it into biogas and then burns the biogas should be tagged with generator:source=waste. If, however, this generator takes shipments of biogas that were processed from waste elsewhere (or from an other intermediate generator), then it should be tagged with generator:source=biogas.
