Proposal
I propose to:
- Deprecate office=energy_supplier
- Promote instead office=power_utility
Rationale
office=energy_supplier can be quite confusing since it can be related to power retail or power supply which are quite different from each other. Power retail companies sell power to home users, public buildings and private companies. Power supply companies on the other hand take care of the network's infrastructure (power poles, cables and substations).
Tagging
| Tag | Usage |
|---|---|
| office=power_utility | Required |
| name=* | Important |
| opening_hours=* | Optional |
| operator=* | Optional |
| wheelchair=* | Optional |
Examples
This tag should be used for the offices of a company or agency that runs the power utilities for a given area (district, city, region, state, etc.). For example, "Metro Power Services". It should not be used for power plants or power transportation infrastructure.
