AbstractThe Electrical Infrastructure database presents the spatial locations of Major Power Stations, Electricity Transmission Substations and Electricity Transmission Lines; in point and line format respectively, for known major power stations, transmission substations and transmission lines within Australia.This dataset describes Transmission Substations; structures in which high voltage electricity supply is converted, controlled or transformed.
