Hi François,

I do actually like the word input for generator and have been thinking that 'battery:origin' makes no sense either to specify the type of origin. Keys such as 'electricity:grid:origin=*', 'electricity:generator:input=*', and 'electricity:battery:type=*' would be more distinct and would separate them. My only problem with that is that the wikipage would probably need a flowchart to explain the tagging :/ What do you think?

Regards, Lukas

    Hi François,

    the combination of electricity:grid=yes with either
    electricity:origin=* or electricity:grid:origin=* would point to
    the origin being only about financial flows as advertised
    on-the-ground.

Agree with that.
electricity:grid:origin isn't part of the proposal, will we have to approve it?

    For the purpose of filtering out amenities, e.g. charging
    stations, that only use 'green' electricity it is still useful to
    tag electricity:origin=* or electricity:generator:origin=* in
    combination with electricity:generator=yes.

Don't agree with that :)
This filtering won't be accurate at all and will encourage people to think claimed origin through a power grid is equivalent to certainty of locally obtained electricity (which isn't) I'm clearly against any association between a generator device and 'origin' word. electricity:origin should relate to grid/market only and remain a claim with no physical reality.

    Alternatively, there would need to be a tagged relation to the
    specific generator and the end users it supplies which would be
    considerably harder to query and many OSM editers seem to find
    relations confusing. Therefore, I think the slight bit of
    redundancy is useful to explicitly tag this on the amenity.

Understood, that would enable to check consistency as well.

    Furthermore, the word 'origin' is used, not only to avoid two tags
    with very similar meanings that can be easily distinguished by
    combination with the infrastructure tag

I respectfully disagree, they don't have a similar meaning in many situations. Merging both in a single key will only be accurate when the claim is equivalent to local production which isn't necessary: you buy solar energy and backup with diesel more often than backup with solar.

    , but also since 'electricity:source' would then have a double
    meaning with 'the survey/map/place where the knowledge of the
    electricity was obtained', which is apparently a problem for some
    other tags using source as a keyword.

i'm currently thinking about refine generator:* subkeys and it's sure this discussion will be really inspiring.
Indeed source should be avoided and I keep that in mind.
In power context "source" refers to inputs and as we already have generator:output, why shouldn't we have generator:input?
generator:input=wind
input:wind=X kW
output:electricity= Y kW

All the best

François
