BPBartholomew highlighted an open-data map of the US electric grid that combines generation, transmission, and demand-related infrastructure in one view. The post says it pulls plant and generator records from EIA, transmission mileage from HIFLD, and data center locations from EPA and other public sources, positioning the project as a public-use infrastructure resource.
