Design posters showcasing your country's electrical grid

Generate print-ready posters of electrical grid infrastructure from OpenStreetMap data. Transmission lines for a country or continent are downloaded and rendered with GeoPandas, OSMnx, and Matplotlib. The project is heavily inspired and reused styling from maptoposter .

Grid2Poster supports countries, states, provinces and continents, as well as predefined regions.

Grid2Poster uses OpenStreetMap features tagged as:

Feature completeness depends on OpenStreetMap coverage in the selected country or region.

Coverage and quality in your country can be improved by mapping transmission infrastructure directly in OpenStreetMap. MapYourGrid is a community initiative that coordinates this work. It provides tutorials, country-level completeness/quality statistics and mapping tools for tracing power lines, generators and substations from imagery.

By default every run writes both a PNG and an SVG:
