US Energy Map


NPR has published an interactive map of US electric grid along with some other details like power plants, solar and wind etc.

I have been thinking about doing something similar for a long time, but this is a great start.

The map includes:


  1. US Electric Grid with existing and proposed lines

  2. Power sources (including Coal, Nuclear, Gas, Hydro, Oil, Biomass, Wind) and their usage in various states.

  3. Power plants (including Coal, Nuclear, Gas, Hydro, Oil, Biomass, Solar, Wind) and their details

  4. Solar power capacity and solar power transmission lines

  5. Wind speed chart and proposed wind power transmission lines by and after 2030
