The size of a power station is usually given by its output, not the dimensions of the plant or property. The largest station in the world on this basis is the Kendal Power Station in Mpumalanga, South Africa. It has six 686 MW units for a total plate capacity of 4,116 megawatts (MW).

By comparison the Lambton Power Generating Station in Ontario had a generating capacity of 1,976 MW when originally developed and generated most of the electricity used in southwestern Ontario.
