In Germany, you probably don't have to care at all. By default, you have a 
contract

with one of the major comanies, if you want, you can chose another via Internet.

My understanding is that the network is in the hand of a 4 large

companies: E.ON,RWE,Vattenfall and EnBW.

I am sure there are offices somewhere, but probably not for the public.

Betreff: Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Power utility office

Would you still use building=civic for power utility offices when it's a 
commercial company ? The power distribution in Belgium is complex. The network 
is ran/owned by a government institution, the actual power distribution by 
commercial providers. So when you want a contract to get electricity you go to 
a commercial entity. So building=civic is not suitable there (I think)

This is a proposal for tagging power utility offices,

I wanted a landuse=civic (or similar) to go with building=civic - and have a 
civic=* subkey to define all the various governmental and civic offices. 
(townhalls, community centeres, tax offices, water district offices, etc.

I would like to actually have something more umbrellaish than doing these one 
office at a time and coming up and doing voting for each one. we need each one, 
so lets make a subkey and define them all. the different utilitiy offices 
(which are usually state run, or state sanctioned monopolies for basic 
services) can easily be added.
