<div dir="ltr">I'm also thinking that power_supply is different, as it give only information of the type of power plug available in a location ! Implicitly it would probably mean there is electricity there but for private houses, we can't know that information without entering houses, and it doesn't say if they have electricity from the grid or something else. And i don't think the original idea is to get that much details (power_supply is a really specific tag). <div><br></div><div>The proposed electricity tag is more general, and more useful to the idea of knowing if there is electricity or not at some buildings, which can be known from outside the building (like if there are power cable coming from the grid or just asking people a simple question "do you have electricity ?" without needing to visit the house).

wouldn't the use of access:private be sufficient? that would tell
people the building is private meaning anything inside must be too.
power supply already allows voltage and actually does allow
intermittent now i look back. due to the fact electricity would
often lead to the presence of a socket (and often all the same type)
i imagine there might be a difficult overlap is all<br>

<div dir="auto">Thanks seirra for pointing to power_supply. But I
don't know if it can really be applied to individual private
buildings? Because as far as I understand it is to be used for
services or amenities like camp sites, ie whether you can get
power there to plug your electrical stuff? The difference is
that electricity=* (or whatever should be used) is to indicate
that there's a source of electricity power feeding a
building/settlement but it doesn't have to be provided as part
of a service for example.</div>

<p>you might find power_supply to be better suited as it is
already documented <a class="m_5482055213044182335m_-1304628727612128165m_-7692629529063443983moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power_supply" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power_supply</a>
it already covers all of those topics except for
intermittent, although if it is relevant i don't see why
you can't put it<br>
