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

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.
- Example : Search for "Unfinished major power lines" - last time applied by XXX [2025-MM-DD]
- .... - last time applied by XXX [2025-MM-DD]
