Hi, The power generation model was refined in 2013 and include some distinction between a power plant and a power generator. It would be convenient and sustainable to take care of this for this concern. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Power_generation_refinement
Power generator only regard any kind of device which convert energy from one sort to another. It should be mapped with power=generator http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power%3Dgenerator Power plant is the whole site and can be mapped with an area or a relation if the power plant isn't enclosed with a fence (which is often the case for hydro power plant). power=plant is the tag currently approved. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power%3Dplant The hydropower_project tag may be redundant with power=plant. Currently, it may be useful to map power=plant sites features only. Generators are supplementary information only used by specialized mappers. It would be great to don't use any other custom power=* value to allow the largest amount of mapper to work with these datas. I'll add some in my spare time.
