An interactive map showing live wind farm generation in Great Britain

GB Renewables Map an energy experiment created entirely in my free time (day job is visualisation at Octopus Energy). It's an interactive map showing live generation for major wind farms in Great Britain, showing what each wind farm is generating both now and in the past, and where that generation is physically located. Animated weather data is from WeatherLayers and shows current and historic wind conditions on the map, providing context to wind generation around the country. History mode allows you to go back in time and see wind generation and weather conditions for a particular date and…

An interactive map showing live wind farm generation in Great Britain launched on April 26, 2023 with 245 votes, #97 of 4,853 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

GB Renewables Map is an interactive map displaying live and historical generation data from major wind farms across Great Britain. It overlays animated weather patterns to show wind conditions alongside generation output, helping users understand how weather affects renewable energy production. The tool includes a history mode for exploring past generation and weather data for specific dates, and a prediction mode that estimates future wind farm output based on current conditions and historical patterns.

    I built an interactive live wind farm dashboard for Ireland2024 · irelandwinddashboard.com · ▲6

    This dashboard is a personal project I've developed to visualize every wind farm's energy production across Ireland. I'm trying to break into software development/data analytics sector and I wanted to build a project to practice my coding. I wanted to build a novel project rather than following along to a basic YouTube video project and not really learn anything. I'm interested in the renewable energy sector and after browsing the web noticed there isn't any public data on real time wind energy production in Ireland. I took the task onto myself to attempt to build a dashboard that…

    Helios – what plug-in solar could generate for any address in BritainMay 2026 · helios.southlondonscientific.com · ▲126

    Plug-in solar panels (no electrician needed) have just become legal in the UK and will go on sale soon. Helios estimates how much electricity a typical installation could generate at a given address and what that's worth against your tariff. It uses UK government LIDAR data to reflect the actual skyline, so it knows whether there's a building or a hill blocking the sun. Caveats: - Outside LIDAR coverage (most of Scotland and Wales) it falls back to a synthetic horizon (less accurate). - Trees and recent developments (post-2022 or so) may not be in the data, and some address placements could…

  • I created this land use visualisation for the Netherlands2024 · koenvangilst.nl · ▲78

    Last weekend, I tried creating an original visualization of something on many minds in my home country the Netherlands: land use. Much of our discussion revolves around land use—housing crisis, sustainable farming, solar energy—it's all about the land. To illustrate this, I created a map where each hexagon represents 0.06% (26,647 hectares) of land in the Netherlands. The color indicates the type of land use.
