The UK Grid is an interactive live map of Britain's electricity system: about 1,270 power stations of 10 MW or more coloured by fuel (wind, gas, nuclear, biomass, hydro, solar and storage), the 400kV and 275kV transmission network, and the ten interconnectors to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark and Ireland with their live flows. Generation figures come from Elexon BMRS and update every five minutes. The map needs JavaScript to run.

The UK Grid
Every power station of 10 MW or more, glowing by fuel and brightening with what that fuel is generating now. Pulses on the interconnectors show which way power is flowing, and how much.
