It's here! All power assets are now live on my GB Renewables Map ⚡
That's right, it's not just wind farms any more. Now you can see live and historic data for gas power plants, nuclear, grid batteries, biomass, pumped hydro and even a bit of solar.
Wind farms are still the default for now, though you can enable as many or as few of the other fuel types and your selection will be remembered when you come back to the website.
It's already live so go play for yourself here:
renewables-map.robinhawkes.com
There are numerous other updates as well:
⛔ Click the plug button to see a curtailment view, now including turn-up and a better visual representation of turn-down and turn-up actions
ℹ️ Tooltips include loads more detail about fuel type and balancing actions
☢️ Each fuel type can be toggled using the map buttons
🧠 Map state is remembered when you reload or revisit the website
✨ Lots of new and under construction power assets are now on the map
↕️ Summary of balancing actions at the top of the map
🚦 Grid boundaries and constraints shown using a traffic light system
And I'm only getting started!
This update was the original goal of creating the map a few years ago. Now it's here I can shift focus to all the other ideas I have for it…
Oh, and there's a new feedback button at the top. Please use it to let me know of any issues you find (there will be plenty) or suggestions to help improve this resource for everyone else.
I'd also like to thank you for all the support and encouragement as I build this free resource in my free time (yup, this isn't my job).
Honestly, it's been an incredible motivator and the discussions over the years have taught me a huge amount that has only made the map better for everyone.
Until the next update!

Put my contact lenses in today for the first time in a while. As ever I'm struck by the fact that "Left is blue" is not problematic in the slightest, but it doesn't work as a mnemonic.
#NowPlaying️ #StoneColdClassic I moved the upper shelf up a notch to give me a little more clearance for the turntable lid and now I can't stand the sleeve up for the traditional photo.
You might have noticed that our @RNLI crew have been pretty busy lately - in fact, we've had NINE shouts in just over 3 weeks! 😯
