## Dataset

### [View Dataset](https://github.com/MrSunshyne/mauritius-dataset-electricity/blob/main/data/power-outages.json)

The aim is to provide a hassle-free way to use the data to build applications.

## Example applications

- [Power Outages in Mauritius](https://power-outages-mauritius.netlify.app/) by Sandeep Ramgolam

- [Kouran](https://github.com/k3ii/kouran) by Jain Ramchurn

## Disclaimers

- The maintainer of this repository is NOT affiliated with the CEB.

- The data is automatically fetched from the CEB website but not provided directly by them.

- The page from which the data is fetched is [publicly available](https://ceb.mu/customer-corner/power-outage-information).

- The data is fetched at a rate of Once per hour betwee 6AM -6PM. ( i assume nobody updates their site after working hours)

- The data is made available here under fair use.

## FAQ

  Why not use the CEB website directly?

  

- Although the data is available publicly and for free, it is not in a suitable open format that would enable developers or students to build applications reliably

- I encourage you to use the CEB website if you wish to

  In which format is the data provided?

  

- JSON

- The shape is as follows:

```js

{

  "district_name": [

    {

        "date": string, // "Le dimanche 13 mars 2022 de  09:30:00 à  13:00:00",
