CommonGrid is an open-source, wiki-style registry that maps the entire US power grid as a connected graph, linking utilities, territories, power plants, transmission lines, EV charging stations, substations, and wholesale market pricing nodes. It aggregates data from EIA-860, FERC, NERC, OpenStreetMap, HIFLD, and other sources into a single queryable, citable knowledge base.
Background
The US power grid is composed of thousands of interconnected utilities, transmission owners, and market operators with fragmented data across multiple government databases. CommonGrid aims to unify this data into a single connected knowledge graph.
