Commissioned Era

This dimension groups energy facilities by the era in which they were commissioned. Wikipedia notes that power stations have long relied on burning "fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity," a reliance whose share among facilities has shifted with every commissioning era since. Browsing by commissioned era lets a visitor compare facilities built in the same period.
