Status

This dimension marks whether an energy facility is currently operating, under construction or decommissioned. Wikipedia notes that the energy source a facility uses to turn its generator "varies widely," and a facility's own operating status can likewise change many times over its working life. Browsing by status separates facilities currently operating from those retired or still being built.
