Live outage data for the South West Interconnected System, served as an Esri ArcGIS Online hosted feature service (layer 0, "Outage_Areas") that backs the public Western Power outage tracker at westernpower.com.au/outages/. Western Power does not document or advertise this as an API, but the service answers anonymous unauthenticated requests (verified HTTP 200 on 2026-07-27), is self-describing via the standard ArcGIS REST `?f=json` metadata convention, and supports the Query capability with a 2,000-record page size. Each outage polygon carries OUTAGETYPE, INCIDENTREF, ENARNUMBER, OUTAGESTARTTIME, ESTIMATEDRESTORATIONTIME, PLANNEDOUTAGE, NOCUSTOMERSIMPACTED, TIMEADDED, AFFECTED_AREA and AFFECTED_AREA_NOCUSTOMERS. No API key, token or registration is required; equally, no support, SLA, terms of use or deprecation policy is published for it.
