I've found this Wikipedia page:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorepower

There is no shore power tag in OSM yet. But now I'm uncertain if we should also 
make a difference between shore power and power supply for other uses.

Tagging<tagging@openstreetmap.org>:   Hi,
I'm thinking about (and in fact, have already used about two times) a new tag: 
amenity=power_supply. It is meant for mapping places where you can get 
electrical power for a fee. They can be found at camping grounds and harbours. 
They have sockets you can use to get power and you can pay with a special card 
that you can buy at a shop (or maybe sometimes with credit cards or even coins, 
I'm not sure about that). 

The tagging scheme for this wouldn't really be new. You create a node at the 
location of the machine, similar how we already map amenity=water_point. For 
additional information about sockets etc., the already established tag 
power_supply=* can be used.
Please note that this is not an amenity=charging_station. These devices are not 
meant for charging vehicles but for getting power for your boat or caravan 
while staying at a harbour or camping ground.
By the way, the tag is not my invention. At the moment, it is already used 56 
times. 

Do you think this is a good idea? I'd like to get your comments before starting 
an actual proposal process.
Michael
