Placemark collection updated on 2 December 2008 with corrected locations for 169 sites based on community feedback via the website linked to from each balloon.

The attached placemark collection contains information on 476 renewable energy generators in Australia. The information was downloaded from the Australian Greenhouse Office website.

Each generator is classed as solar, hydro, wind, biomass or other. The technologies include reciprocating engine, steam turbine, cogeneration, gas turbine, gasification, water turbine, photovoltaic cells, solar concentrator, wave turbine, wind turbine and solar dish.

Note that detailed information (such as addresses) are not made available by the AGO and their website states: "The positions of power stations are not accurate and mostly represent the general locality of the power station. Locations of power stations maybe more than 10 km from the actual site."

Therefore, following some tutorials on GMaps/PHP/MySQL/KML found around the net I have created a website that you can use to correct the location of each site based on your local knowledge. You can then reload the network link to see the changes. To access this website just click on the link in the balloon.

I will update the attached collection as locations are corrected by the community. For live data please download the network link in the post below.
