Power station output varies widely as a function of what is being used as a power source. There are upper limits like the number of turbines that can take advantage of water behind a dam. Too many turbines will draw the water level down quickly and output will diminish. Nuclear reactors can be constructed that are "so big" and are designed with an upper limit on size. Only by adding more reactors can output be increased. Same with coal fired power plants. That's the upper limit as regards commercial power plants.
Lower limits on power stations will follow dictates of economy and availability of energy resources. Commercial power plants produce anything from a few kilowatts to several megawatts or several tens of megawatts. There are a number of variables, and they can be assessed with some thought. Use the link below to the Wikipedia article on power stations and check out those variables.

How much energy input is wasted at the power stations?
2/3 of energy input is wasted at the power station.
How much of energy does koeberg nuclear power station produces?
1800 MWe
How much power does an power plant generate?
Stupid question as each power station has a power rating - so a 1000Mega Watt power station will produce 1000 Mega Watt hours in 1 hour if running at full power.
How much energy does wave power produce per hour?
The question has no real meaning - unanswerable.
How much electricity does milliken station produce?
35677564mw
How much energy does a natural gas power station produce per day?
The energy produced is related to the size of the power plant, not the amount of gas it uses. The question you really want answered is "How much gas does it take to produce a kilowatt of electricity?"
How much energy input is wasted at the power stations?
2/3 of energy input is wasted at the power station.
How much nuclear waste does the koeberg power station produce?
s the question
How much of energy does koeberg nuclear power station produces?
1800 MWe
How much electricity does a nuclear power station produce?
The latest design PWR's produce about 1500 MWe per unit.
How much energy is watsted when it is produced in a nuclear power station?
The average efficiency of a nuclear power station is about 33%, measured as the ratio of power electric over power thermal.
Uranium fuel pellets used in nuclear power station produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy?
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
How much energy does a geothermal power station create?
It doesn't create any energy because energy can't be created or destroyed!
How much power does an power plant generate?
Stupid question as each power station has a power rating - so a 1000Mega Watt power station will produce 1000 Mega Watt hours in 1 hour if running at full power.
What is the relationship between appliances power rating and the amount of heat it produce?
power rating is the rate of moving energy their relationship in the amount of heat it produce it divided by time to move that much energy
How much energy does the sun produce?
it produces 3.826*10 to the 26 power in one second
How much energy does wave power produce per hour?
The question has no real meaning - unanswerable.
