Mapping success stories
Success stories are designed to highlight important contributions. Have you significantly improved the cartography of a country (added a new line, a power station, etc.)? Don't be shy, let us know below.
- nlehuby [2025-08]: create 8 substations (Irbid East, Dulail, Al-Rama, Madaba, Tafila, Mass wind, New Karak, Amman South solar)
- nlehuby [2025-08]: create 2 132 kV power lines from Dulail substation
- nlehuby [2025-08]: create 2 132 kV power lines around Al Rajhi cement
- nlehuby [2025-08]: create one 132 kV power line around Irbid East substation
- nlehuby [2025-08]: create one 132 kV power line around Tafila substation
- nlehuby [2025-08]: create one 132 kV power line around Amman South solar substation
- nlehuby [2025-08]: create one 132 kV power line around Al-Rajif substation
- nlehuby [2025-08]: create 2 132 kV power lines around Al-Rama substation
- nlehuby [2025-08]: create 3 132 kV power lines around Xenel wind and Kospo wind substations

Encountered problems and places to improve
- nlehuby [2025-08]: Still missing a few lines and substations around Amman city
- nlehuby [2025-08]: Have to wait for newer imagery to finish some lines and substations
- nlehuby [2025-08]: I were unable to finish the Jordanian-Palestinian Interconnection (from Al-Rama substation I guess)
- nlehuby [2025-08]: I were unable to find the Jordanian-Iraqi Electrical Interconnection mentionned on NEPCO website (from Al-Risha substation I guess)
- nlehuby [2025-08]: I were unable to find the Jordanian-Saudi Electrical Interconnection mentionned on NEPCO website
Use of mapping strategies
Mapping strategies refer to Power networks/Guidelines#Mapping strategies. They are used for a methodical improvement of the OSM database. Once you have fully applied a strategy in this country, you should add or update your name, the date, the strategy, and a comment below. This way, other users can see whether it is worthwhile to carry out further investigations.
