    Think about standards names to fill utilities:electricity.
    Each standard comes with frequency, voltage, rating...


Yes, I agree that in most cases voltage doesn't change much for a given city. But something that will change frequently is the source (here in Madagascar mostly from a distribution company, a generator, or individual solar panels). And maybe another good idea is to omit those voltage and possibly redundant details, and put sources directly as values on the main tag (like how most of the few existing electricity=* tags seem to be used). So we would have something like:

  * utility:electricity=yes - there is electricity feeding the
    building but the source is not defined
  * utility:electricity=no - there is no electricity source at all
  * utility:electricity=generator/company/solar/windmill... - there is
    electricity and the source is known


In Australia there is a backbone grid. My electricity could come from a coal filed power station, a wind mill, a solar power plant, a battery, a hydro electric plant, a gas fired power plant ... and they are all connected together so I might get a mixture.

In short .. where the power comes from is not able to be mapped in most instances here.

Thanks.

        I like the idea of keeping a namespace gathering utilities
        such as electricity, gas, internet or other. But the idea is
        also to be able to use a namespace for the utility to provide
        more details (source, voltage, fee...) or conditions (if
        there's schedule in availability) - and with
        *utility:electricity* this would easily generate a complex
        tagging of namespace under namespace, unless you say it is no
        problem to have *utility:electricity:voltage=** for example.


    I think this would be hard to maintain, and highly redundant
    since voltage won't change for a given city or even country.

    Most hoses in Australia have 240 v single phase supplied to them.
    Then they have 'standard' (here) GPOs of 10 Amp capacity. Some
    have one or more higher 15 Amp capacity outlets.
    And then there are some houses that have 3 phase 415v supplied to
    them - and they have 'standard' (here) GPOs of 10 Amp capacity,
    possibly one or more 15 Amp capacity outlets and one or more 3
    phase outlets.

    So here you have in one neighbourhood 3 different instances of
    electricity presence in houses.



    Agreed with Paul statement about earthing system which is
    specific to each building

    Earthing systems are usually mandated and common to some
    bureaucratic boundaries.
