I went over with this with friends who are renewable energy experts/professionals. I don't think it helps to get into that level of detail because generators don't really have a "mean" output unless you're updating on a regular interval and document that interval. You can usually access information about the "rating" or "capacity" or "peak output", which is enough to give data users an idea as to whether you've tagged a little roof-mounted micro turbine or a whopping great big 5MW turbine. Something I'd love to do is link OSM nodes with live data output. There are web sites like Pachube and some companies sell kit to customers so they can track output online, but it's sadly a long way from being standardised. Some friends of mine want to put a display on the side of Peckham library with the area's real-time energy output, linking to OSM data to show where it's coming from :D Regards, Tom -- http://tom.acrewoods.net http://twitter.com/tom_chance
