<p>In Germany, you probably don't have to care at all. By default, you have a contract</p>
<p>with one of the major comanies, if you want, you can chose another via Internet.</p>
<p>My understanding is that the network is in the hand of a 4 large <br>

<p>companies: E.ON,RWE,Vattenfall and EnBW. <br>

<p>I am sure there are offices somewhere, but probably not for the public.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Would you still use building=civic for power utility offices when it's a commercial company ? The power distribution in Belgium is complex. The network is ran/owned by a government institution, the actual power distribution by commercial providers.
So when you want a contract to get electricity you go to a commercial entity. So building=civic is not suitable there (I think)

<div>I wanted a landuse=civic (or similar) to go with building=civic - and have a civic=* subkey to define all the various governmental and civic offices. (townhalls, community centeres, tax offices, water district offices, etc. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to actually have something more umbrellaish than doing these one office at a time and coming up and doing voting for each one. we need each one, so lets make a subkey and define them all. the different utilitiy offices (which are usually state
run, or state sanctioned monopolies for basic services) can easily be added. </div>
