  Hydro Ottawa Green Button pages, the outage map, review.yml probe record, and
  openapi/hydro-ottawa-green-button-espi-openapi.yml
summary: >-
  Hydro Ottawa publishes no API lifecycle policy of any kind — no versioning statement,
  no deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation header commitment, no SLA and no API
  status page. The only status surface it operates is a customer-facing outage map, which
  reports the electricity distribution network, not API availability. Versioning for the
  Green Button surface is set externally by the standard and by the Ontario regulation,
  not by Hydro Ottawa.
versioning:
  scheme: standard-versioned
  governed_by: >-
    NAESB REQ.21 ESPI Model Business Practices, versioned by the North American Energy
    Standards Board; the binding version for Ontario is fixed by O. Reg. 633/21.
  mandated_version: '3.3'
  mandated_version_published: '2020-01-30'
  implemented_version_verified: false
  implemented_version_note: >-
    Hydro Ottawa names Green Button and the Green Button Alliance on its pages but never
    names an ESPI version. v3.3 is what the regulation compels, not what was observed.
  spec_in_repo_version: >-
    The harvested Green Button Alliance OpenAPI in this repo describes ESPI 4.0 and its
    paths carry the /espi/1_1/resource/ URI segment. That is a version gap against the
    Ontario mandate and is recorded on the artifact itself.
  provider_version_policy: null
  provider_version_policy_note: No Hydro Ottawa versioning policy exists on any page read.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: unknown
  deprecation_header: unknown
  note: >-
    No deprecation policy, no RFC 8594 Sunset commitment and no notice period is published.
    No Deprecation pointer is wired in apis.yml because there is nothing to point at.
deprecated_operations: []
deprecated_operations_note: No operation in the harvested specification is marked deprecated.
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
  note: >-
    No API SLA is published. Hydro Ottawa's service obligations are set through the Ontario
    Energy Board's distribution licence and scorecard, which govern the wires business, not
    an API.
status_page: https://outages.hydroottawa.com/
status_page_scope: >-
  Electricity distribution outages only — a KUBRA StormCenter deployment reporting
  customers affected, outage counts and restoration. It is NOT an API status page: it says
  nothing about the Green Button authorization portal, the onboarding application or the
  ESPI resource surface. Recorded as the status page because it is the only operational
  status surface Hydro Ottawa runs and it was confirmed HTTP 200 on 2026-07-27.

    There is no developer support channel, no forum, no Slack/Discord and no
    developer-facing ticketing. Integrator contact runs through the third-party onboarding
    application and general customer service.
changelog:
  url: null
  published: false
  note: >-
    No API changelog, release notes or version history exists. The corporate blog at
    https://hydroottawa.com/en/about-us/blogs-articles (RSS at
    https://hydroottawa.com/en/rss.xml) is customer communications, not API change
    communication, so no ChangeLog pointer is wired.
roadmap:
  url: null
  published: false
  note: >-
    No API roadmap. The only forward-looking commitment affecting the API surface is the
    Ontario regulation itself.
