Distribution Network Live Outages — SPENOpenDataPortal

This "Distribution Network Live Outages" data table contains live outage data for SPEN's distribution network, covering both Low Voltage (LV) and High Voltage (HV) networks. The data is collected and maintained by the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) and includes detailed information about each outage incident.

The tables gives the following information:

Timings: Information on when the fault was reported or the start time for planned outages, and the estimated time of restoration.
Status: The current status of each incident, indicating whether it is ongoing or resolved.
Location: Detailed geographical information, including region, postcode, and specific location affected by the outage.
