Awesome Electrical Grid Mapping

⚠️ If you're eager to get started with transmission grid mapping in OpenStreetMap, check out the Starter Kit Tutorial and our community discord channel of #MapYourGrid. Please note that the maps shown here are used to estimate the coverage in OpenStreetMap and to find missing lines. Do not copy/paste data from these maps directly into your OpenStreetMap layer. Each data point of the transmission network must be set manually and verified with official satellite data provided by the OpenStreetMap community.

If a link is broken, or you find a map with a broken link that you would like to add to this list, just try the link at the Internet Archive. This even works for PDFs and other files.
