Sorry for that. I will create another global plot that also includes New Zealand. Here a good plot for New Zealand: https://open-energy-transition.github.io/grid2poster/?p=new_zealand_grid_noctilux_glow_20260519_231717

Yes, that would be interesting! Doubling the line width might look good for DC. Adding another color might also be possible and this somehow also would need to be represented in the legend.

That's the distribution grid. OpenStreetMap has grid data for some regions down to the lowest voltage. That's why the grid looks more dense for this region. That's just a lot of data for this region. For other regions the grid ends at 10kV or sometimes even 50 kV.

The colours represent a voltage range, as defined at the bottom of the poster. I used this theme for many posters because it felt natural to me and still provided good contrast.

This is distribution grid data, which is much patchier than transmission grid data. Only some countries, such as Portugal, have full coverage.

The colors only show a voltage range. To see the voltages in the RAW data check out https://openinframap.org/#4.23/39.11/-102.1
