OpenStreetMap Power Lines for Europe

This feature layer provides access to OpenStreetMap (OSM) power line data for Europe, which is updated every 15 minutes with the latest edits. This hosted feature layer view is referencing a hosted feature layer of OSM line (way) data in ArcGIS Online that is updated with minutely diffs from the OSM planet file. This feature layer view includes power line features defined as a query against the hosted feature layer where power is any of 'line', 'minor_line', or 'cable'. In OSM, electrical power features are mapped using the power tag. Power lines are specifically defined as high-voltage lines used for power transmission. There are hundreds of different tag values for power used in the OSM database. In this feature layer, unique symbols are used for major and minor overhead lines as well as underground cables, while lesser used types are grouped in an "other" category. Zoom in to medium scales (e.g. County level or 1:1.1m scale) to see the power line features display. You can click on a feature to get the name of the line (if available). Create New Layer If you would like to create a more focused version of this power line layer displaying just one or two power line types, you can do that easily! Just add the layer to a map, copy the layer in the content window, add a filter to the new layer (e.g. power is minor_line), rename the layer as appropriate, and save layer. You can also change the layer symbols or popup if you like. Important Note: if you do create a new layer, it should be provided under the same Terms of Use and include the same Credits as this layer. You can copy and paste the Terms of Use and Credits info below in the new Item page as needed.
