Ground Conductivity Map In testing
See where the ground amplifies a storm.
Pxie's ground conductivity map shows how well the ground under your network conducts electricity, which changes how strongly a storm affects the grid above it.
Plan: Builder plan.
Coverage: Modeled anywhere on Earth; most detailed in Alberta and the rest of North America.
What Ground Conductivity Map gives you.
Earth conductivity tiles for your GIS
Ground conductivity map tiles at zoom levels 2 to 7: blue where the ground conducts well and storm effects are weaker, red where it resists and effects are stronger, including larger geomagnetically induced current (GIC) in long lines. Drop them straight into the mapping tools your planners already use.
Legend and coverage
A colour legend with coverage notes. The detailed regional data covers Canada; elsewhere a broader continental estimate is used, so treat those areas as a coarse guide. The same ground model feeds every storm risk score Pxie calculates for your network.

Ground Conductivity Map questions.
What does a ground conductivity map show?
How well the ground conducts electricity. Resistive ground produces stronger storm-induced electric fields.
Which areas are covered?
Detailed regional data covers Canada.
Can I add it to my own maps?
Yes. It is delivered as standard map tiles with a legend.
