10 years ago today, from the north bank of Upper Loch Torridon. Beinn Damh in the distance.
The sun is shining, the wind is blowing a gale, and just 2.4% of British electricity is coming from fossil fuels. See the live data at https://grid.iamkate.com.
Bad news for #CrossBorderRail between Spain and Portugal: one of the two only passenger trains connecting both Iberian countries will be partly replaced by a bus for a year because of engineering works in Galicia.

Finally, another updated diagram on my blog: the 2026 πŸ‡©πŸ‡° #Denmark πŸš‚ rail diagram with a slightly modified layout. It is one of my oldest diagrams. It is also the one in which the sea is most dominant. The islands allow for a little cheating in terms of size, in order to fit the differently dense rail network.

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.

It's already live so go play for yourself:
