# OSM Global Power Grid

Global electricity infrastructure extracted from [OpenStreetMap](https://openstreetmap.org),
converted to Parquet for analysis and ML use. Snapshot date: 2026-03-29.

## Usage

```python
import pandas as pd

edges = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/GridGrapher/osm-power-grid/processed/transmission/power_grid_edges.parquet")
```
