Powergrid

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

Measurements recorded

Geometry-only dataset
No separate measurements; attributes are shown in the data table.

Unit harmonisation applied to this dataset

Every number in Atlas is stored in one canonical unit; the original value and unit are always kept
