Get Global Power
get_global_powerUse when a user asks about power plants/units WORLDWIDE or in a NON-US country — operating AND the forward pipeline (announced / pre-construction / under-construction), across ALL fuels (coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal). Global Energy Monitor Global Integrated Power Tracker: 182,000+ geolocated units across 170+ countries, each with fuel, capacity (MW), status, start year, operator/owner and lat/lng. Filter by country (e.g. Germany, India, Brazil, Japan), fuel (comma-union: coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro), status, pipeline=true (JUST the forward set: announced + pre-construction + construction), bbox (minLng,minLat,maxLng,maxLat), or min_mw. Returns a summary (total MW by fuel + count by status) plus the largest units. Answers "what power is being built in India", "how much coal is still running in Vietnam". Try: get_global_power country=India pipeline=true. Do NOT use for US grid telemetry/headroom (use get_grid_intelligence / get_grid_scoreboard) or the US planned-generator feed (use get_power_pipeline) — this is the GLOBAL asset inventory.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| bbox | No | Viewport filter as minLng,minLat,maxLng,maxLat | |
| fuel | No | Fuel/type filter, comma-separated for a union: coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal | |
| limit | No | Max results to return (1-500; default varies by tool) | |
| min_mw | No | Minimum unit capacity in MW | |
| status | No | Status substring filter, e.g. operating, construction, pre-construction, announced | |
| country | No | Country/area name to filter, e.g. Germany, India, Brazil, Japan | |
| pipeline | No | true = ONLY the forward pipeline (announced + pre-construction + under-construction) |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| quota | No | Caller quota state (remaining calls, tier) when available. | |
| _entity | No | Payload class discriminator (e.g. facility|market|iso_grid|queue_results|deal|report|response) — branch on this before parsing the rest. | |
| citation | No | Machine-readable citation: how to attribute DC Hub (dchub.cloud) for this payload. Normally an OBJECT {source, url, license, cite_as, retrieved_at}; a bare string is accepted and carries the attribution line itself. | |
| provenance | No | Collection-level provenance block: {source, method, as_of, verification_counts, cite_url_template, license, cite_as}. Quote the verification level when citing. | |
| _front_door | No | In-band front-door hint (first workflow-entry tool of a session): call plan_query(intent) first for the ordered multi-step plan. | |
| _return_loop | No | Suggested next-session delta call (get_changes since=24h) so you pull only what changed. | |
| site_evaluation_handoff | No | Pre-built follow-up calls (analyze_site / get_water_risk args) when the payload carries coordinates — an array of {tool, parameters, why} entries. |
