ď¸ to discover how one creator transformed fragmented global electricity data into a unified interactive map, exposing the vast power grid that supports modern infrastructure and AI systems đâĄ
Developed by Brian Bartholomew using open datasets from EIA, HIFLD, EPA, and additional sources, this platform charts more than 120,000 power plants, millions of miles of transmission lines, and hundreds of thousands of substationsâbringing everything together into one free system on OpenGridWorks for anyone to explore.
The project emphasizes that AI relies heavily on real-world energy infrastructure, not just code, while also raising important questions about visibility, security concerns, and how mapping physical systems could influence planning, investment, and global technological advancement.
Would you dive into global infrastructure if it were fully visible?
