Maps are a great way to present information, therefore energypedia offers the possibility to integrate interactive, annotated maps to your article.
Different coloured markers can be useful in numerous cases, for example, to distinguish between current and planned projects. The default marker colour is red. Other available colours are black, brown, green, purple, yellow, grey (note English spelling), orange and white.
