Power evidence layer

Public power data supports the product. It is not the product.

This page keeps the verified national electricity record visible and traceable. The operator-facing product lives one layer above it: location reliability, outage risk, backup readiness, and operating cost.

Primary product

Power for Operators

Designed for shops, pharmacies, clinics, schools, hotels, workshops, estates, and other local operators that need to keep working through unreliable supply.

Open Power for Operators

Evidence

What is verified?

National source-backed access-to-electricity records from Data Civic.

Reliability

What must be observed?

Supply hours, outage frequency, restoration patterns, and location-specific operating history.

Forecast

What can be predicted later?

Higher-risk windows only after the location has enough traceable observations to justify the signal.

Operator action

What should happen next?

Translate risk into generator readiness, stock protection, staffing changes, and estimated continuity cost.

Scope and limitations
  • National access-to-electricity data cannot be used as a proxy for feeder, neighbourhood, business, or facility reliability.
  • The Power for Operators demo uses synthetic outage events, forecasts, feeder names, and financial impact values for workflow validation only.
  • Observed reliability, outage alerts, forecasts, and savings claims should move into the verified product only after traceable monitoring inputs and methodology exist.

Design principle

Utilities and government agencies may eventually use or contribute data, but the current product is optimized for the smaller operator who needs to decide what to do before a disruption becomes expensive.
