Africa - Power Plants (WRI Global Power Plant Database)

Electricity transmission and distribution grid network across Africa including all existing and planned lines, ranging from sub-kilovolt to 700 kV extra-high-voltage lines. Compiled from multiple sources including the Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic, OpenStreetMap, the West African Power Pool GIS database, World Bank project archives, and country utility data. Use this layer for energy access analysis, grid infrastructure planning, electrification studies, renewable energy siting, and power sector investment analysis across Africa. No additional information provided.

Data for power plants with total installed generating capacity > 10 mw from the Platts World Electric Power Plants Database (WEPP 2006). Plants were georeferenced using location information from the WEPP, auxiliary GIS datasets, World Bank project documents and the internet. Locations are approximate, precision varies greatly by point, based on the source of coordinate information. The following attributes are included: PLANT: power plant name, STATUS: status (OPR, CON, PLN, OTHER, UNK), SUM_MW: total installed generating capacity, LATITUDE: approximate location, latitude, LONGITUDE: approximate location, longitude, GEN_TYPE: type of electricity generation (HYDRO, THERMAL, OTHER).

High-resolution vector coastline and shoreline dataset for Africa at 30-metre resolution, derived from Landsat satellite imagery. Includes continental coastlines and major island shorelines. Use this layer for coastal zone management, maritime boundary analysis, coastal erosion monitoring, infrastructure planning, and environmental assessments across Africa. No additional information provided.

Energy infrastructure of Ethiopia including power plants, electricity transmission lines, substations and generation facilities. Use this layer for energy sector planning, electrification analysis, grid expansion studies, and renewable energy site assessment.

Major hydrological basin boundaries across Africa delineated from hydrologically corrected elevation data derived from HydroSHEDS and Hydro1K datasets. Each polygon represents a drainage basin defined by its watershed boundary, with attributes for basin name, area, and sub-basin coding. Use this layer for transboundary water governance, river basin management, flood risk assessment, water resource planning, and catchment-level environmental analysis across Africa. No additional information provided.

Point features representing health facilities across sub-Saharan Africa, with each row giving a facility's name, type, ownership, country and first-level administrative area. Published by Orion Terrametrics.
