Describe the bug

The 'estimated_generation_gwh' column suggests that the largest power plant in the dataset is in Puerto Rico but that can not be correct.

To Reproduce

1) Download the .CSV file from http://datasets.wri.org/dataset/globalpowerplantdatabase 2) Open the .CSV file using Google Sheets 3) Sort the dataset according to the column 'estimated_generation_gwh' 4) Note that the largest power plant in the dataset is an outlier 5) Note that its GPS coordinates put it on the island of Puerto Rico 6) See attached screenshot and https://i.imgur.com/KxUBpaG.png

Expected behavior

I would expect the A.E.S power plant to have a 'estimated_generation_gwh' value that is at least ten times smaller. Screen Shot 2020-02-14 at 12 39 56 PM
