Grid-readiness signals

The grid and data centers

A reference map overlaying major transmission lines and substations around Kanto and Kansai with the data centers published on this site. Proximity to a transmission line does not mean power can be supplied. Available capacity and lead times must be confirmed through the demand-side information published by the transmission and distribution operator for each area (TEPCO Power Grid, Incorporated and Kansai Transmission and Distribution, Inc.) and through individual prior consultation.

What this map does and does not show

Shows

Transmission lines and substations of 154 kV and above registered in OpenStreetMap, and their approximate positional relationship to published data centers.

Does not show

Contractable power, current available capacity, whether connection is possible, construction costs, supply start dates, or redundant supply routes.

How to confirm

Check the demand-side WELCOME ZONE MAP (TEPCO Power Grid) and Welcome Zone Map (Kansai Transmission and Distribution), and ultimately carry out prior consultation and a connection study with the relevant transmission and distribution operator.

Data and terms of use

The physical network is derived from data © OpenStreetMap contributors under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL), extracted per area, filtered by voltage class and converted to GeoJSON (the retrieval date is shown at the top right of the map). Because it depends on what has been registered, completeness and current status of equipment are not guaranteed. Images from the operators' welcome-zone pages are not reproduced; only links to the official pages are provided.
