Interconnectors and Power Transmission Lines Dataset

Research Data 2021/FD 003 V1.0, 02.08.2021

Research Areas

The project “Interconnectors and Power Transmission Lines” was realised within the framework of the SWP Research Paper “Geopolitik des Stroms – Netz, Raum und Macht” (SWP-Studie 2021/S 14, 07.09.2021) and had the objective of identifying and visualising all interconnecting power lines in Europe, Africa and Asia regardless of their primary source of energy that are of relevance on the transmission grid level. As of 2020, no comprehensive data or database on transmission lines and interconnectors were available. Hence, this dataset contributes to filling this gap. It comprises merged and harmonised data from three different sources, namely from the OpenStreetMap (OSM, www.openstreetmap.org), the Open Infrastructure Map (OIM, openinframap.org), and the World Bank (WB, energydata.info), complemented by further research, including the updating and adding of information.

The data covers the following time period: 01.01.2021-02.08.2021.
