Electric railways are widely spread around the globe. These vehicles are powered by overhead lines, supported by power=catenary_mast, or third rails (see: electrified=* ). Under this key (railway:electricity) the feeding points for the energy and seperation points can be tagged. Mostly there is also a switch or man_made=street_cabinet nearby.

| Key | Value | Comment | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
railway:electricity |
joint |
Section point, seperating two section of overhead line or (electric) third rail from eachother. Mostly close to a power=catenary_mast, but can also be placed in the middle between two of them. |

Tagging feeding point
| Key | Value | Comment | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
railway:electricity |
power_supply |
Feeding point for electric energy into third (electric) rail or overhead line. Mostly close to a power=catenary_mast. Not to be confused with railway=power_supply providing a power plug for electric devices. |
Mandatory |
voltage |
<operating voltage> | The voltage this point supplies | Recommended |
railway:electricity:ref |
<ref> | Unique value (for this operator), which you would put normally in ref=*, for this point. Visable on a sign at this point. |
Recommended |
railway:electricity:name |
<name> | Sometimes there is an additional name=*. Use only, if value for ref is already used for a unique value. |
