Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!

How to create a wiki page for your MHP:
Fill in this template and link the respective MHP name in the table above.
How to mark your MHP in the map:
| Description of procedure | Examples | ||
|
Step 1 |
Convert your geographical coordinates into GoogleMaps compatibel coordinates using one of the websites below: |
If the coordinates of your MHP were 6º34’40’’N 38º41’50.3’’ E, the converted values would be 6.577778, 38.697306. | |
|
Step 2 |
Insert the converted coordinates into the "Wikitext" of the map followed by the name of the MHP site plus the geographic coordinates. |
| |
|
Add 6.577778, 38.697306, name of the hydrosite 6º34’40’’N 38º41’50.3’’ E into the Wikitext | |||
|
Include (_grey) infront of the line that you add. | |||
