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:

My latest blog post: Next Trains

My two-year-old loves trains so any time we can swing past the station and see them is worth the detour. This web app displays the next few arrivals and departures to help us schedule a visit. It's also my first time publishing code as a package on PyPI.

I put a silly amount of work into this, but it was a fun exploration in datavis and storytelling. I could keep tinkering on this forever but I gave myself till then end of the month to call it done. Time to move onto other projects. (PS: looking for work…)
Boatify wrapped 2024! Stats, maps, timelapses and silly stuff from my AIS receiver and webcam overlooking the Firth of Forth. (recommend viewing on a grown up computer, works on phones but not optimised for them)
