Open Infrastructure Map now has support for `power=circuit` relations, which represent circuits on the power grid. https://openinframap.org/#7.81/49.979/-0.564/circuit=-10377412 These relations are especially useful for managing longer-distance interconnectors […] [Original post on en.osm.town]

We've recently added the PeeringDB Facility ID property to @wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P14320 Where this is present, there's also now a link to PeeringDB from datacenter infoboxes on Open Infrastructure Map.

Open Infrastructure Map relies on the community to translate our website - you can help out by submitting translations on Weblate: https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/open-infrastructure-map/ At the moment, we're particularly looking for translators to Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.

We've just launched a revised design for the map! This adds more consistent symbology, and a few new symbols (including power portals), and better rendering of substation detail. This work was done with the help of @Catalogtree. This is the first phase of the […] [Original post on en.osm.town]

The nighttime lights layer has been updated with data from 2024. The colour scale has changed a bit as the source data format has changed. https://openinframap.org/#3.22/34.4/35.68/N

The Open Infrastructure Map JOSM style has been updated to render voltages for substations, and handle DC and railway traction frequencies. Find it in the Map Paint Style preferences under Open Infrastructure Map.

Designer wanted! We're looking for someone to design a logo and icons for Open Infrastructure Map. This is a paid contract. More info & how to apply: https://github.com/openinframap/openinframap/discussions/216 #OpenStreetMap #design #webdesign

The search box has been updated to search the power plants and substations in our database, in addition to the places search from @opencage. (You can also paste lat/lon coordinates in the search box in order to navigate to them.) https://openinframap.org

The base map on https://openinframap.org has been updated and is now using the Protomaps basemap schema: https://docs.protomaps.com/basemaps/downloads The style has also been extensively tweaked, and it looks a bit more colourful at lower zooms - thoughts/feedback welcome!

There's now a @wikidata property for Global Energy Monitor links, and Open Infrastructure Map now displays this link when available. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P13333

Added initial support for showing Osmose power validation issues. These are only visible at zoom level 11 and above, and clicking them is currently a bit tricky due to a Maplibre bug. https://openinframap.org/#11.8/50.27097/1.9417/E,L,P

New nighttime nights layer! This shows nighttime lights data from NASA's "black marble" dataset collected by the Suomi NPP satellite. The data is from 2023. It should be handy for identifying unmapped power infrastructure. It also looks cool. https://openinframap.org/#2.57/40.39/5.63/N

The solar generation heatmap layer has been updated to finally take into account power plants which don't have generators mapped. Plant output is (roughly) estimated from area if there is none tagged. The heatmap weightings have been re-calibrated somewhat […] [Original post on en.osm.town]

A few more updates added recently: water and sewage treatment plants and reservoirs are now visible on the water layer. https://openinframap.org/#8.5/51.3266/0.3495/L,W #OpenStreetMap

You can now follow Open Infrastructure Map on Bluesky or Mastodon (posts are bridged using Bridgy Fed). https://bsky.app/profile/openinframap.org https://en.osm.town/@OpenInfraMap

We're now running MapLibre 5.0.0-pre.3 on https://openinframap.org, which seems to have fixed the rendering issues we were seeing related to the globe mode. If you spot any other weirdness, please let us know so we can pass any issues upstream.
