See also https://openinframap.org/ which pulls from OpenStreetMap. (I'm one of the contributors to the mapping of the Bay Area's electrical infrastructure.)

Unrelated but DAAAAMN OpenStreetMap is blowing away Google Maps in terms of performance here.

What you're seeing on that site isn't actually OpenStreetMap. It's data points from OpenStreetMap that are overlayed on top of Mapbox [1], with the vector tiles served up by Tegola.

Neat. Lots on electrical, though not much on gas pipelines (natural and gasoline). There are some strange ones too, such as fertilizer, that are not mapped.
