Identifier of a power plant in the Global Power Plant Database of the World Resources Institute (WRI), column gppd_idnr. It is a letter prefix and a seven-digit number. The prefix is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code of the country for plants from a national data source (USA, GBR, BRA, IND and others), WRI or WKS (Wiki-Solar) for plants from other sources, and the five-letter GEODB for plants from the Global Energy Observatory. US ids embed the EIA plant code (USA0006008 for plant 6008). WRI no longer updates the database; the last version is 1.3.0.
