The Resources and Energy Sector Infrastructure Council (RESIC) was established in 2007 by the South Australian Government to identify, source, value-add and deliver online integrated infrastructure information that meets the future requirements of the resource and energy sectors. In 2011 DMITRE launched the infrastructure channel in SARIG 2020 which consisted of 17 key datasets to assist potential investors and bring new projects to the state.

As the data was provided in various formats and structures, a rigorous verification and quality assurance process was undertaken by the Spatial Information Services unit in Primary Industries and Regions South Australia to ensure the resultant 'value-added' datasets met the channel's requirements.

Updated in 2019 to include renewable energy generation and includes projects 'In Service', 'Under Construction' and 'Under Development' (UD for internal use only). South Australian Power Generation - Non-Renewable and Renewable Power generation at least 5 MW in capacity. Power Generation are a collective set of points: 1.a. Collected spatial points of Power Stations (sourced Geosciences Australia and modified for improved spatial accuracy (source date 01-06-2017)) 1.b. Collected attribute data (sourced from AEMO (source date 01-11-2018)) 1.c. Collected from various project developer websites 1.d. Development Applications and Approvals to identify sites that are under development and in the public domain 1.e. Internal Departmental knowledge of projects that are under development

The power generation dataset contains locations of South Australian power generation with capacity of at least 5 megawatts (MW), or in the case of hybrid installations, combined capacity of the facility.
