Mapping Power Outages in Kiev

The Map of Power Outages in Kiev visualizes power outage schedules in the Ukrainian capital. Due to Russia's ongoing attacks on power stations in Ukraine the electric power company Yasno has to schedule times of planned power outages. The Map of Power Outages in Kiev uses this schedule to provide an interactive map at the individual building level of these scheduled power outages.

It is important to note that this is not a real-time map of actual power outages in Kiev. The map is for informational purposes only, and shows only scheduled power outages, not the possible actual situation at individual addresses. However it is possible to use the day and time controls provided on the map to see when the power is scheduled to be on or off at individual addresses throughout Kiev.

The Map of Power Outages in Kiev was created by Vadym Klymenko. His blog post on the Kyiv Electricity Map provides an interesting account of how he was able to get the individual building address data from OpenStreetMap using Geofabrik. The address data used by the power supplier Yasno comes in a different format than that used by OSM and Vadym also provides an interesting description of the problems that this caused in creating the Map of Power Outages in Kiev.
