Note: This dataset has been updated with transmission lines for the MENA region. This is the most complete and up-to-date open map of Africa's electricity grid network. This dataset serves as an updated and improved replacement for the Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD) data that was published in 2007. Coverage This dataset includes planned and existing grid lines for all continental African countries and Madagascar, as well as the Middle East region. The lines range in voltage from sub-kV to 700 kV EHV lines, though there is a very large variation in the completeness of data by country. An interactive tool has been created for exploring this data, the Africa Electricity Grids Explorer. Sources The primary sources for this dataset are as follows: Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD) OSM © OpenStreetMap contributors For MENA: Arab Union of Electricity and country utilities. For West Africa: West African Power Pool (WAPP) GIS database World Bank projects archive and IBRD maps There were many additional sources for specific countries and areas. This information is contained in the files of this dataset, and can also be found by browsing the individual country datasets, which contain more extensive information. Limitations Some of the data, notably that from the AICD and from World Bank project archives, may be very out of date. Where possible this has been improved with data from other sources, but in many cases this wasn't possible. This varies significantly from country to country, depending on data availability. Thus, many new lines may exist which aren't shown, and planned lines may have completely changed or already been constructed. The data that comes from World Bank project archives has been digitized from PDF maps. This means that these lines should serve as an indication of extent and general location, but shouldn't be used for precisely location grid lines.

This data set describes approximate overhead power line routes associated with Western Power's Distribution network. © Western Power 2017

Western Power is continually renewing and upgrading the distribution overhead network when assets are coming to the end of their service life. Traditionally, the work involves like-for-like replacement of these assets, however when identified as beneficial to the community and cost effective to do so, Western Power is installing electrical infrastructure below ground to improved safety and reduce the likelihood of outages. Western Power currently manages three programs converting the overhead network to underground power. State Underground Power Program (SUPP) – the cost of undergrounding is shared between the State Government, Western Power, Local Government Authorities and property owners. Network Renewal Undergrounding Program Pilot (NRUPP) – driven by Western Power to target areas with a high density of aging overhead assets. Customer Funded / Retrospective Undergrounding Projects (RUP) – funded by Local Government Authorities (LGAs) or land developers as part of a new residential connection. This resource provides data on Western Power’s underground power projects, existing, in construction & planned.

Existing and planned transmission grid network (medium and high voltage lines) in the ECOWAS Region. Also covers other regions of West Africa. The source of the dataset is the West African Power Pool (WAPP) GIS database January 2017. WAPP collects and validates spatial information on transmission lines in a yearly basis. Includes substations from a 2014 World Bank project, digitized from a PDF map.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the electrical generating network in Western Canada circa 1954. Generating plants are shown as either developed waterpower sites (in other words, hydro plants), or as fuel electric plants (thermal plants). The plants are portrayed on the basis of their capacity, measured in horsepower. The map also shows transmission lines of 60 000 volts or higher. Note that in a number of cases, cartographic considerations require that two or more side-by-side transmission lines be shown as a single line on the map. An interesting feature of the map is that it shows the location of potential hydro sites. Each of these is shown by a proportional circle measuring its potential capacity. There is an inset with two pie charts showing the distribution of net generating capability of facilities in 1954. Net Generating Capability estimates are based on actual operating experience assuming all equipment is available at the time of annual peak demand. These estimates make no allowance for the effect of unfavourable water or ice conditions. However, the estimates do allow for needs of the station and so deduct station services.

This data set describes the approximate location of structures typically associated with Western Power's distribution network. Note this dataset also includes Western Power managed streetlight poles and support structures and as such may not necessarily indicate the presence of an overhead network. © Western Power 2017 WARNING: This data should be considered approximate only and is intended to give the user a reasonably good idea of location relative to their own area of interest.
