Open Calgary data
Calgary electrical permit and inspection activity
A transparent baseline from Open Calgary’s Electrical Permits and Inspections dataset.
Short answer
The official dataset is updated daily and contains inspection events associated with electrical permits. It does not include project work descriptions, so this launch does not claim to count 200A or service-upgrade projects from this dataset.
Key takeaways
0135,648 distinct permit numbers had an issued date in 2025.
024,410 rows tied to 2025-issued permits were labelled as Service inspections.
03One permit can have multiple inspection events; these figures measure different things.
What the numbers mean
The distinct-permit count de-duplicates inspection rows by permit number and issued year. The Service figure counts inspection events whose inspection type is Service; it is not a count of service upgrades.
Why no 200A count is shown
The dataset fields available through the official API do not include a project work description suitable for classifying amperage changes. Publishing a 200A number would require a separate documented source or join.
Reproducibility
The source dataset identifier is vxgy-id5s. Counts were queried through the official Socrata API and verified August 31, 2026. Future published classifiers will disclose patterns, version, confidence and limitations.

Questions
Frequently asked
Does this show how many Calgary homes upgraded to 200A?
No. The current dataset does not provide enough project-description evidence to make that claim responsibly.
What should I do next?
Use the Capacity Check to organize what you know, then have a qualified electrical contractor complete the assessment required for the property and jurisdiction.
