In 2025, our team mapped 2.2% of global grid, focusing on hard regions in Africa, Latin America & Asia. The wider #OpenStreetMap community added 3.4% mostly in US, Europe & China. Our Impact: 1.7k power plants, 300k+ towers, 110k km of lines, 9.5k substations, 536k edits. See all our lines here:

All the lines mapped my the MapYourGrid Team in 2025

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. Check out our blog: mapyourgrid.org/blog/2025112...
