the project #mapYourGrid has 7.3 million km of lines mapped in #openstreetmap thanks to professionals and all other contributors.

Andreas Hernandez DenyerAndreas Hernandez Denyer, Energy systems modeller | Founder of Climate Club:

The world’s first open and free database which tracks the high-voltage line length of almost every country’s grid is finished, which shows a significant underestimation of global line lengths.❗

MapYourGrid and Open Energy Transition developed a bottom-up approach by going through reports, datasets, geospatial files, and websites of every country’s transmission system operator (TSO), electricity regulator, ministry of energy or other sources.

Why?

➡️ 1. Data such as these are locked behind large paywalls, which means that the “6 million kilometres” of global transmission grid stated in the IEA’s 2025 World Energy Outlook cannot be easily verified or understood. Furthermore, our approach allows for people to add to the open database, comment if there are mistakes, update the data, and validate it since all sources are indicated. Open data and Open Source allows for stringent validation, and can guarantee higher levels of quality.

➡️ 2. We wanted to know how much of the grid is mapped in OpenStreetMap, globally, per country and per voltage level. Being able to compare this with official data, now allows the community and MapYourGrid to see the coverage missing (or not!) in detail, and to attribute a quality score to a country’s grid.

So, in total this gives us a high-voltage grid estimate of at least 7.3 million circuit kilometres. Thus, we now estimate that around 75% of the world’s high-voltage grid is mapped in OpenStreetMap (rough estimate).

As I once said, Turkmenistan is the enemy of “control+f= ‘km’”.

Retours du State of the Map Europe 2025 | Adrien Pavie

https://pavie.info/blog/retour-sotm-europe-2025/

Les 14 et 15 novembre 2025, le State of the Map Europe s’est tenu à Dundee, en pleine Écosse. L’évènement regroupe la communauté #OpenStreetMap Européenne sur 2 jours pour partager les nouveautés logicielles, les initiatives cartographiques, et adresser de nouveaux défis. J’ai eu la chance d’y participer : voici mes coups de cœur, découvertes, et les tendances qui vont marquer l’écosystème OSM dans les mois à venir.

What happens when #OpenSource energy modeling meets African open-source developers?

⚡ At OSCA Fest in Lagos, we presented open energy planning to developers, graduates & entrepreneurs via the #MapYourGrid project and PyPSA-Earth. The workshop sparked big interest in applying open-source energy solutions for Africa’s future.
