Hyperlocal evening outage predictions with personalized action plans
Northern and western India suffer daily evening power outages as solar generation drops while demand spikes, with insufficient thermal supply forcing reliance on expensive spot markets
OutageOracle combines weather, solar generation forecasts, and grid data with crowdsourced reports to predict exact evening outage windows in Northern and Western India. It delivers custom schedules for households to shift appliance use, farmers to run irrigation pumps, and small businesses to protect perishable inventory, reducing expensive diesel generator dependency.
