How this list is built
Each value is the figure stated in our story, attributed there to its source: a project value, cost or investment. Sale prices, loans and grants are left out, because they measure a deal rather than the size of a build. One row per project, using our latest story with a stated value. Projects we have not reported, or reported without a dollar figure, do not appear.
