Find power infrastructure
find_power_infrastructureLocate nearby electricity grid elements: power lines, cables, substations, transformers. Filter by minimum voltage and power type, and retrieve distance-sorted results with optional geometry.
Instructions
Query the electricity grid layer around a location: power lines (high/low voltage), underground cables, substations and transformers — with voltage, circuits, operator and optional line geometry. Pass power_types to also include towers, poles, switches, converters, etc. Results are sorted by distance.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum number of elements to return | |
| radius | No | Search radius in meters | |
| latitude | Yes | Center point latitude (decimal degrees) | |
| longitude | Yes | Center point longitude (decimal degrees) | |
| min_voltage | No | Only return elements whose voltage tag is at least this value, in volts (e.g., 225000 for 225 kV). Elements without a voltage tag are excluded. | |
| power_types | No | OSM power=* values to search for. Defaults to ["line","minor_line","cable","substation","transformer"]; other supported values include ["tower","pole","portal","switch","converter","compensator","insulator","terminal","catenary_mast"] (towers/poles are numerous — request them explicitly). | |
| include_geometry | No | Include the full geometry of lines/cables (larger response) |
