Power in Public. Knowledge in Community.

Ensuring that energy resources generated in the United States are transparently owned and operated is fundamentally a national security concern, not just an economic or regulatory one. Energy infrastructure—oil, gas, electricity grids, renewable generation, water supply, and fuel supply chains—forms the backbone of modern society. Any lack of clarity around who controls these assets introduces potential vulnerabilities, including foreign influence through layered corporate ownership, opaque investment structures, or indirect control via subsidiaries and private equity networks. When ownership is unclear, it becomes significantly harder to assess strategic risks, enforce accountability, or understand how external entities might influence critical infrastructure during geopolitical tensions or supply disruptions.

This is particularly important because modern energy systems are deeply interconnected and often involve complex, multi-layered corporate structures. A single facility may be operated by one company, owned by another parent entity, financed by a third investment group, and dependent on global supply chains for critical components. Without transparent mapping, these relationships remain fragmented across regulatory filings, financial disclosures, and government datasets—making it difficult for policymakers, researchers, or the public to see the full picture of control and dependency.

CurrenSee is designed to address this gap by creating a unified, open-source intelligence layer over U.S. energy systems. It maps corporate ownership structures, supply chain dependencies, and physical energy infrastructure into a single transparent ecosystem. Through interactive network graphs, users can trace parent companies, subsidiaries, and joint ventures across all major energy sectors. Supply chain visualization tools show how energy moves from extraction through processing, transport, and final consumption, while geospatial mapping layers reveal where critical infrastructure is located and how it connects across regions.

The platform integrates public datasets from agencies such as the EIA, SEC, FERC, EPA, and USGS, alongside community contributions, to build a continuously updated and verifiable dataset of energy ownership and infrastructure. Features such as timelapse views, corporate influence graphs, emissions tracking, and regulatory incident mapping help expose how energy systems evolve over time and where concentration of control may exist. Developers and researchers can also access APIs and export tools to analyze dependencies programmatically or integrate the data into external systems.

By making this information structured, accessible, and openly available, CurrenSee supports a broader goal of energy transparency and national resilience. It enables the public and decision-makers to better understand who controls critical infrastructure, how energy flows through the country, and where systemic vulnerabilities may exist. In doing so, it strengthens accountability, improves situational awareness, and contributes to a more informed approach to safeguarding essential energy systems.
