World power infrastructure: power plants by source (hydro/dams, coal, natural gas, solar, wind, nuclear) from the WRI Global Power Plant Database, plus the major transmission backbone from OpenStreetMap. NOTE: only the highest-voltage (>=500 kV) lines are shown, so a line often looks like it just 'ends' in mid-air - that is where it steps down to the lower-voltage (400/230 kV) lines that are not shown but carry the power the rest of the way to substations and cities. (OSM also has no plant-to-substation linkage at world scale.) Toggle each source in the legend; click any plant or line for its full record. Cached: re-runs reuse the cache unless force=true.
