Mapping Grid United's planned HVDC projects

Source: Grid United

  • Created a comprehensive map displaying Grid United's planned HVDC projects using georeferencing in QGIS.

  • Downloaded images of Grid United's planned project routes / corridors from their various project websites and regulatory filings.

  • Georeferenced the downloaded images using QGIS to align them with real-world coordinates and ensure spatial accuracy.

  • Added power infrastructure data, such as existing transmission lines and substations, to the georeferenced images.

  • Aligned the project routes precisely with the existing substations to demonstrate the interconnections between the planned HVDC lines and the current power infrastructure.

  • Added boundaries for the Western, Eastern and Texas Interconnections to highlight the importance of these projects connecting various parts of the US power grid.
