[OSM-talk] French OpenData improvements for distribution power networks

[François Lacombe]

Hi Joseph,

It's not currently planned to automatically import all of this into OSM
(hopefully)
The main point is to bring data that enable contributors to go look on
ground or solve aerial imagery lacks.

Integrate 800k substations on existing buildings can't be done
automatically and will last many years I think (public dataset currently
don't contains a distinction between buildings and street cabinet for
instance)
Just like transmission underground power cables, geometries of distribution
lines and cables will have to be reworked to match aerial imagery or to be
connected to relevant supports.
We achieve this manually for now and OSM survey tradition brings high value
to publicly available data.

Further figures regarding transmission network will be available in coming
weeks

All the best

François
