Grid & Pipelines (OpenInfraMap)
Pipelines are DASHED. Power lines are SOLID.
Natural gas (OSM substance = gas)
Other petroleum (oil, fuel, NGL, LPG)
Other substance (CO2, nitrogen, water)
NGL = natural gas liquids. LPG = liquefied petroleum gas. Neither is pipeline natural gas, so they are kept out of the gas layer. Click a pipeline for its substance, operator and diameter.
Coverage limit. These are long-distance TRANSMISSION pipelines from OpenStreetMap. Every gas feature sampled in California on 2026-08-26 carried usage = transmission. Local distribution mains, the service that actually feeds a small plant, are almost never mapped in OpenStreetMap. A plant with no line shown may still have gas at the fence. Absence here is NOT evidence of no service. Confirm supply with the serving gas utility.

Line color = voltage
Under 10 kV
10 to 24 kV
25 to 51 kV
52 to 131 kV
132 to 219 kV
220 to 309 kV
310 to 549 kV
550 kV and above
Direct current (HVDC)
kV = kilovolt. Lines are drawn from OpenStreetMap, so coverage is good for transmission and patchy for distribution. Click any line for its voltage, operator and OSM record.

Filter: Plant State = CA; Energy Source Code = NG (natural gas only, so landfill gas LFG, other gases OG and propane PG are excluded); sum of natural gas nameplate capacity at the plant is 10.0 MW or less. Coordinates are the EIA-reported plant latitude and longitude.
