Power networks/Grid connections/Africa

This pages shows all international lines mapped in OSM. This data has been automatically generated, and must be reviewed. All line that have end points in two different country are inventories, but it is not necessary a grid connection. For example, it might be just a line crossing border over few hundreds meters. Work is in progress to improve this inventory.
