Source: WRI. Data for power plants are from carma.org and 2008 company reports. The water stress indicators are from CGIAR/WRI/University of Kassel 2004.

WRI mapped water scarcity data with plant locations for the largest publicly listed power generation companies in Southeast Asia. 74 GW – over half of existing and planned capacity for major power companies – is located in areas that are considered to be water scarce or stressed.
