It is also possible, if a data source does not have a compatible license, to officially request permission from the data producer to use the data for grid mapping in OpenStreetMap. If you do so, please mention it below to inform other users. Indicate who made the request, to whom, when, and what the response was. Also share a link to the sent email (for example on GitHub) and the received reply. Mention this request in the comment column of the table above.
- Example : Request by USERNAME to OPERATOR on DATASET_NAME [2025-MM-DD]. Positive/Negative answer received on 2025-MM-DD. See mails : https://xxx.github

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.
- User:Ben Dynartio [2025-04-23] : Updating Centrale Solaire de Ambatolampy with additional 20 MW + 5 MWh battery storage 1202039777
1202039777 - User:Ben Dynartio [2025-04-10] : Adding power line from Farahantsana 1 Hydropower plant to Antananarivo 1376438436 1376438436
Encountered problems and places to improve
- There few thermic power plants near Antananarivo 12640051 12640051, it is hard to determinate what is the associated power of each part. See also wikipedia page Énergie à Madagascar (FR)
- Extension of solar plant near 1380280133 1380280133 (not visible yet on Mapbox or Esri) : https://deraenergy.netlify.app/projects/toliara-phase2-solar/
- Few solar plants can be added, see : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89nergie_%C3%A0_Madagascar#Solaire
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.
