The national average hides all of that.
That’s one reason I added regional breakdowns to https://isTheGridGreen.com.
The further you zoom in, the more interesting the story becomes.
National electricity statistics are useful.
They’re also misleading.
When people hear:
“Country X is 45% renewable”
they often imagine the whole country looks roughly the same.
Reality is very different.
Some regions can be operating close to 100% renewable generation.
Others may be relying much more heavily on conventional generation.
The interesting thing isn’t the technology.
It’s how quickly you realise that a single national number hides a lot of complexity.
A country’s renewable percentage only tells part of the story.
Regional differences can be enormous.
And that’s where things start getting interesting.
A small weekend project update.
https://isTheGridGreen.com now supports both 🇬🇧 UK and 🇦🇺 Australia.
The homepage automatically detects where you’re visiting from and shows your local grid.
You can also switch countries manually and compare them side-by-side from anywhere in the world.
It’s live.
