Explore Global Energy Monitor facilities through a structured API. Filter by country or proximity, inspect capacity and registry dates, and connect reporting to infrastructure carefully.
Captured 2026-09-25. These are the exact saved dates and identifiers. Running this request again can return changed results.

COLLECTION & INTEGRATION
GDELT Cloud loads Global Energy Monitor’s published power, fuel-transport and heavy-industry registries directly, as offline source releases. They are not obtained through BigQuery. The Facilities API provides a common site and unit vocabulary while retaining source, tracker, capacity and registry dates. GEM data is attributed under CC BY 4.0.
Use a country filter for an energy research view, or a bounded near=latitude,longitude,radius query around a precisely located Event. The saved Thailand example returns physical infrastructure from GEM. Site records group source units, while capacity retains its declared unit. Follow an owner only when the response actually returns a resolved owner identifier.
The same Facilities surface also includes NGA World Port Index and Epoch AI records. Those sources have different coverage and provenance; a port record should not be treated as GEM ownership evidence.
Proximity does not establish that an asset was affected. Ownership resolution is incomplete. Capacity is not summable across asset classes: power may be measured in MW and heavy industry in tonnes per year. Registry updates follow source releases, not the cadence of news.
Inventory artifact published 2026-09-25. Aggregate inventory is unmeasured in this publication. Saved responses above retain their own capture dates and returned coverage.
