Open source mapping of US high voltage electrical grid
Possibly of interest for network operators who have inter-city circuits, where the underlying carrier is something on OPGW fiber in high voltage lines. These people seem to be making an effort at mapping out high voltage lines, hydroelectric dams, substations, etc. https://openinframap.org
Very cool, thanks, Eric.

I do think the data in OpenStreetMap is undervalued. Lots of stuff there and there are a few projects that exist to better visualize that data. https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ is another using Open Street Map data. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Kuhnke" <eric.kuhnke@gmail.com> To: "nanog@nanog.org list" <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2022 8:45:53 PM Subject: Open source mapping of US high voltage electrical grid Possibly of interest for network operators who have inter-city circuits, where the underlying carrier is something on OPGW fiber in high voltage lines.
