Power, Internet, Insight — All in One Place

InfraOpen is an open-source transparency platform built to bring public visibility to two of the most essential modern services: electricity and internet access. As utilities become increasingly central to everyday life, consumers, researchers, and policymakers need a reliable way to understand who owns these systems, how they operate, what they charge, and whether they are following the law. InfraOpen is designed to solve that problem by organizing complex utility information into one accessible platform.

At its core, InfraOpen creates detailed state-by-state profiles for electricity manufacturers, distributors, and internet providers. Each profile can include parent company relationships, primary country of ownership, board members, executive officers, and historical ownership changes. This helps users identify who controls critical infrastructure and how corporate structures influence public services. By combining governance information with operational data, InfraOpen offers a clearer picture of the organizations behind the systems people depend on every day.

A major feature of InfraOpen is regulatory and billing compliance tracking. The platform can map state electricity billing laws, fee limitations, disclosure requirements, and service regulations against actual provider practices. This allows users to identify corporations that may be overcharging, violating notice rules, using improper billing procedures, or otherwise operating outside legal standards. Over time, InfraOpen can build historical records of fines, enforcement actions, and recurring compliance concerns, creating long-term accountability.

InfraOpen also includes consumer-focused tools designed to make utility information practical and understandable. Users can compare providers, estimate bills, review infrastructure coverage areas, and analyze rate trends. Geographic mapping can display service territories, substations, grid networks, and future mandatory public Wi-Fi hotspot coverage. Sustainability metrics such as energy source mix, renewable adoption, and carbon footprint can also be included, giving users insight into environmental performance alongside pricing and reliability.

Because InfraOpen is open source, it is built for collaboration and continuous improvement. Developers can expand APIs, researchers can contribute verified datasets, and communities can help identify gaps or inaccuracies. The long-term vision is a national transparency system where power, internet, and insight truly exist in one place—helping the public better understand and monitor the infrastructure that shapes modern life.
