Mapping America's electric infrastructure - transmission lines and substations. Starts with an archived HIFLD base; updated with OpenStreetMap when possible. Visualized with high-performance vector tiles.

We added this to our Wildfire Monitoring Platform recently!

Something that would really be interesting, is to see the effect of adding a datacenter with xGW anywhere on the grid.

Just got access to Wells Intelligence. Very well done.

thank you!

@kyle_e_walker, this is beautiful.

How do i built my city ??

I also copied and learned one

how do we download this

Mapping US electric infrastructure with vector tiles gives you real analytical capability that static maps can't match. Transmission lines and substations are critical infrastructure that most people never think about until they fail - having a fast, interactive layer means you can actually study grid topology, single points of failure, and geographic dependencies at scale. The HIFLD base plus OSM update approach is smart. HIFLD data was authoritative but got pulled from public access in recent years, so anchoring on the archive and letting community edits fill in the gaps is probably the best available strategy right now.
