⚡ Open Grid
The open-source energy infrastructure dataset — built by Texture, maintained by the community.
If you work in energy, you know the pain: utility service territories buried in PDFs, rate structures scattered across state PUC filings, grid operator boundaries that nobody agrees on, manufacturer specs locked behind vendor portals.
We spent years pulling this data together from EIA, NOAA, HIFLD, FERC, state regulators, and hundreds of other public sources — cleaning it, normalizing it, and structuring it into something actually usable.
Then we thought: why should everyone else have to do the same thing?
Open Grid is that dataset, open-sourced.
Browse it. Build on it. Contribute back. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in — just clean, structured energy infrastructure data maintained by the people who use it.
🗺️ Utility Territories
Service territory boundaries for IOUs, co-ops, and munis — mapped, normalized, and kept current. Stop screen-scraping EIA-861.
⚡ Grid Infrastructure
ISO/RTO regions, balancing authorities, substations, and generation assets. The structural data that underpins every energy application.
📋 Rate Structures
Tariff data, rate schedules, and program details pulled from state filings and utility publications. Structured and queryable.
🔌 Device Ecosystems
Manufacturer specs, device catalogs, and integration profiles for batteries, inverters, thermostats, and EV chargers.
Why Open Source?
The data is already public
We're not exposing anything proprietary. This is publicly available information from government agencies and regulatory filings — we just did the unglamorous work of cleaning and structuring it.
Nobody should have to do this twice
Every energy company wastes months assembling the same baseline data. Open Grid eliminates that duplicated effort so teams can focus on what actually differentiates their product.
Community makes it better
Utilities know their own territories best. Manufacturers know their own specs. When the people closest to the data can update it directly, accuracy and coverage improve faster than any single company can manage.
The energy transition needs shared infrastructure
The grid is getting more complex every year. DERs, storage, EVs, flexible loads — building the software to manage all of it starts with a shared understanding of the infrastructure itself.
How It Works
Open Grid follows the OpenStreetMap model: anyone can browse the data, registered contributors can edit directly, and organizations can claim and verify their own entries. Edits publish immediately with full version history and automated quality checks against authoritative sources.
🔍 Browse & Flag
No account needed. Explore the data and flag anything that looks wrong.
✏️ Edit
Registered contributors edit entities directly. Schema-validated, auto-published.
✅ Claim & Verify
Organizations claim their own data. Verified badge, ownership notifications.
