power stations
Grid supply facilities
Power stations are facilities that generate electricity, typically on a large scale for distribution through a power grid.
The term encompasses plants using various energy sources—coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, solar, or wind.
British English favors power station where American English typically uses power plant: The old power station was converted into an art gallery.
