Aaron Meyers discusses the geolocated energy information platform for electric utility customer outages, covering 140 million utility customers, representing 93% of the US population. The talk explores the platform's evolution, trade-off analysis, and the adoption of an open-source solution with Docker, Java, Python, and GeoServer. The development includes creating a unique data set for visualizing outages consistently and analyzing utility behaviors within and across counties. The speaker highlights the release of a historic outage data archive, spanning November 2014 to December 2022, supporting open science and addressing energy justice questions.
