The world's electricity infrastructure, mapped.

Every dot is a piece of grid infrastructure. Every line carries gas, power, or data. Built on public data from @openstreetmap, @GlobalEnergyMon, @EIAgov, and more.

Check it out here, interactive and free:

this is so awesome, is it possible to change to 2d map instead of globe projection ?

@wing13nut Beautiful map! FYI is aiming to close #open grid data gaps within the next years. PM me if you want higher quality grid data. 👀 ~20% of grids are unmapped, many power plants undiscovered, metadata quality mediocre. AI driven data monitoring a need…

@wing13nut You guys do great work! All the transmission here except for the US is OSM

@wing13nut In case you use US gov HIFLD data large parts come from OSM. But yeah, there is still much more possible to extend open grid data such as OSM to be more decision relevant

Lovely visuals, Brian. Great mapping of data.

Thanks Chris!

This is awesome. Where do you even get this data from to work with? And how is it running so smooth?

Thanks! The public version is all government or advocacy group data (EIA, OSM, GEM great places to start). And honest answer is... I'm not even sure it is. Buttery on my Mac Studio but my windows laptop was puking on it this morning, so still need to clean things up there.

@markvalorian Bro great work

@markvalorian Thank you! Excited to keep making it betrer

cool man. @helionova_ai built something like this a couple of years ago and works with utility companies on storm restoration events.

This is incredible work. We aren't bullish enough on $INV

@nukebarbarian Good dashboard. Does it have local distribution too?

you really knocked it out of the park here dude

I wrote about why we need to switch to mesh HVDC to climb the kardashev scale!

This is insane. Worked on something like this for a German university 10 years ago, for only Germany. It took like 30s to start up the application which wasn't running in the browser. Would be cool if you could click on the smallest substations as well.

I get that from previous efforts as well, part of why this was so exciting haha. And hmm should be able to? They're zoom gated, so the low voltage subs won't appear until you're pretty zoomed in, but there is a buried toggle in the gear to show them all. What's the issue / platform and I can fix? Mobile in general I haven't verified / tested 😬

Dang, sorry no that was broken. Substation tooltips / other functionality should be working again now.

This is beautiful to me⚡

@wing13nut Kind of but with some extra viz craft! Love it.

Incredible work

SO cool

U.S. Offshore Wind - 3. Small but never forgotten in my heart!

This is really cool, thank you for making it! I know a few colleagues at GMF are going to find this very useful.

Wow, this is awesome! The globe projection and level of detail across different infrastructure types is quite stunning. Stunning depth of data! Keep it up!

This is marvelous dude. I'm just admiring it. Crazy interesting to see the concentration of solar farms in northwest China. Wonder why that is.

Looks great! Curious though.. how much of this is visually complete vs operationally trustworthy? A confidence score by region would make this super powerful.

Welp, there goes an hour. This might be the coolest website I’ve ever seen😍

Super impressive

this is absolutely insane

you're fucking blessed dude, very cool

Very impressive! Thanks for building and sharing ⚡️🤓

Thanks! Honestly for folks like you it is still just a pretty skin for now. But it has been fun to build!

So awesome

this is awesome. thank you for building!

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this is one of the coolest and most powerful software creations on the internet, especially if you are an energy geek like me.

amazing work ! you can link it to geopolitics ,so we can see its impact on electricity infrastructure , well only if data is updated every day ... ( stiil weird idea haha ! )

Doing the lord’s work. Solid stuff.

Brilliant.

Bro, you forgot to add my solar panels on it. Just kidding

Looking pretty bleak for Papau New Guinea

Brian is there an API to fetch all this to offline?
