National Energy Outage API
Listed in ukpowernetworks
Introduction This dataset is sourced from UK Power Networks' Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS), showing near real-time power cut (fault) data.
Description
It includes planned and unplanned power cuts. Users will be able to consume live fault data via API.
Definition of the data structure is aligned to the Energy Networks Association National Energy Outage Application Programming Interface (ENA NEO API) design specification, designed to be used by key national infrastructure operators to assess power outage locations. Dataset is updated every 15 minutes. Methodological Approach Data Extraction: Fault data is queried from our PowerOn system.

Data Cleaning: Any fault which contains five or fewer customers, and can not be aggregated have been omitted. Geopoint Creation: These are created from aggregated postcode data to protect individual customer privacy. Quality Control Statement The data is provided "as is".
Assurance Statement The Open Data team and Control Systems Data Team have checked the data against source to ensure data accuracy and consistency. The data domain owners have checked their respective data aspects.
