Playing with power lines

Posted by mabapla on 18 December 2008 in English.

I'm like a child playing with batteries, cables and light bulbs. (What, you didn't play with these as a child? ;-) )
Only that it's now with virtual power plants and lines in OSM. :-)
For example, I'm happy that the city of Esslingen now has electric power in OSM since I filled the last gap between it and the nearby coal power plant:

Next big milestone will be to complete the long line which (among other areas) supplies the city of Göppingen where I was born.
It's the one that runs to the West in this map:

(Yes I know that the lines are redundant and that the power doesn't simply come from one specific plant. :-) )

Now is the time to lighten up the streets by using lit=yes :)
