Australian National Electricity Infrastructure Locations for Major Stations and Lines

Geoscience Australia Data provides a spatial database of Australia's major electricity infrastructure. The data includes point locations for power stations and substations, and line features for transmission lines. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling power grid connectivity and resilience based on the spatial network of transmission lines.
• Planning infrastructure projects by analyzing proximity to existing major power stations and substations.
• Conducting environmental impact assessments using the geographic locations of electrical infrastructure.

Strengths

• Spatial data is provided in both point and line formats, suitable for network analysis.
• The dataset is maintained by Geoscience Australia, a national scientific agency.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
