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:

@robhawkes Very nice! Do you have something which defines terms like 'turn up'? and similar for the battery storage?
Which APIs let you get the current state of each battery; one thing I've had as an idea for a while is to have a 'current charge' state for the country but also to look at how that changes over time as we add more batteries.
Hmm, aren't there some compressed air storage around as well?
