Major Power Stations and Electrical Infrastructure Locations in Australia

Spatial Services (DCS) provides point and line data for major electrical infrastructure across Australia, last updated on 2026-05-28. The dataset includes the locations of major power stations, electricity transmission substations, and transmission lines. It describes structures where high voltage electricity supply is converted, controlled, or transformed.

Use Cases

• Site suitability analysis for new energy projects based on proximity to existing major power stations.
• Network connectivity modeling based on the spatial locations of transmission lines and substations.
• Infrastructure risk assessment based on the geospatial distribution of critical electrical assets.
• Regional energy capacity analysis based on the concentration of major power stations.

Strengths

• Data is provided as an ARCGIS REST SERVICE, indicating it is structured for direct geospatial analysis.
• The dataset includes three distinct infrastructure types: power stations, substations, and transmission lines.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-05-28).
