A public register of large industrial, energy and infrastructure projects worldwide with published investment values and announced capacity. Maintained by CAF Corporation Ingeniería de Costes SL — used internally for CAPEX & capacity benchmarking.
Values are preserved in their published currency and have not yet been normalized to a common price basis or location factor.
Benchmarking note. Each record keeps the announced capacity / key driver next to its published CAPEX, so cost-per-unit-of-capacity can later be derived and normalized with the CAF Location Factor and Cost Index — the basis for global CAPEX benchmarking.
