This dimension groups energy facilities by their generating capacity, from small local plants to major national stations. Wikipedia notes that power stations "contain one or more generators, rotating machines that convert mechanical power into three-phase electric power," generators whose combined output varies enormously between facilities. Browsing by capacity band keeps facilities of a similar scale together.
