Note: Sample data provided. ・ Contains aggregated power outage data by Zip Code. Limited historical record inventory. Designed for and consumed by the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) Power Outage web application. The Maryland Department of Information Technology updates this dataset approximately every 15 minutes. Oak Ridge National Laboratory harvests the first 500 records from the the dataset every 30 minutes and is ordered by the date-stamp, allowing for better data discovery purposes.

The power outages in this layer are pulled directly from the utility public power outage maps and is automatically updated every 15 minutes. This dataset represents only the most recent power outages and does not contain any historical data. The following utility companies are included:Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)Southern California Edison (SCE)San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E)Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)Los Angeles Water & Power (LAWP)Layers included in this dataset:Power Outage Incidents - Point layer that shows data from all of the utilities and is best for showing a general location of the outage and driving any numbers in dashboards.Power Outage Areas - Polygon layer that shows rough power outage areas from PG&E only (They are the only company that feeds this out publicly). With in the PG&E territory this layer is useful to show the general area out of power. The accuracy is limited by how the areas are drawn, but is it good for a visual of the impacted area.Power Outages by County - This layer summaries the total impacted customers by county. This layer is good for showing where outages are on a statewide scale.If you have any questions about this dataset please email GIS@caloes.ca.gov

Power Outage Incidents

Contains aggregated power outage data by County. Limited historical record inventory. Designed for and consumed by the MEMA Power Outage web application.

The information records interruptions affecting 50 or more customers which last for longer than five minutes. It includes the average duration of the outage and its potential cause and is segmented by Local Government Area. It does not include planned maintenance work; emergency work that may require power to be disconnected to allow crews to work safely; or outages on major event days when the network is affected by extreme weather events.

Introduction This dataset is a feed from UK Power Networks' Distribution Network Management System - ADMS, showing near real time power cut (fault) data. It includes planned and unplanned power cuts. Users will be able to consume live fault data via API.

Methodological Approach

  Data Extraction: Fault data is queried from our PowerOn system.
  Data Cleaning: Any fault which contains five or less customers, and can not be aggregated have been omitted.
  Geopoint Creation: These are created from aggregated post code data to protect individual customer privacy. 

Quality Control Statement The data is provided "as is".

Assurance Statement The Open Data team has checked the data against source to ensure data accuracy and consistency. The data domain owners have checked their respective data aspects.
