Awesome Electrical Grid Mapping
⚠️ The datasets, maps and all resources compiled here are used to estimate the grid 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.
Get started with transmission grid mapping in OpenStreetMap by checking out our Starter Kit Tutorial and our community discord channel.
If a resource link is broken, or you find a map with a broken link that you'd like to add to this list, try it on the Internet Archive. This even works for PDFs and other files.
