Energy Committee Map

The energy committee needed to understand how energy moves through the Kingdom: from production and processing sites through transmission networks to generation plants and points of consumption, across oil, gas, and power together rather than one sector at a time.

The data existed but was spread across agencies and formats, with no single view that answered a simple question: what is happening here, and how does it connect to what is around it?

• Many layers on one map (pipelines, power grids, facilities, regions) compete for attention, so layer ordering and symbology became the most important design decision.
• A mixed audience: sector specialists who want detail, and decision-makers who want the big picture in seconds.

An interactive map that brings the energy sectors into a single national view, with toggleable layers and side panels that reveal detail when any element is selected.

A unified symbol and colour system for energy types and facilities that stays legible as layers stack up.

The main lesson: on data-dense maps, what you hide by default matters more than what you show. Early versions showed everything; the final one starts with the big picture and leaves detail on demand.
