@katemorley is 1.4GW a record low for gas? Don’t think I’ve seen it so low before

@cleeinfobot@tech.lgbt 2026-03-25 08:13
@katemorley Could be on track to beat the 30.7GW of renewable energy generation on Tue, 17 Mar 2026. Just think, it could be 100% renewable were it not for the curtailment of wind generation due to poor infrastructure 😩 .

@katemorley That’s great, but my recycling bags are now in the next valley.

@katemorley That's a beautifully produced dashboard.

@jontringham@mas.to 2026-03-25 08:41
@katemorley could be an extra ~3.8gw of wind when the Dogger Bank and Sofia wind farms are at full potential.

@katemorley What a very useful website. Thanks. Politicians bang on about the UK needing fossil fuels and nuclear, but it seems to me that we could repace them both with renewables, given a strong lead from the government.

@katemorley I work at National Grid and have shared this in our Teams channels. Don't be shocked if someone reaches out to offer you a job!

@katemorley ...but we still have to pay for it as if it costs the same as natural gas: 🤔

@katemorley Thanks a lot, very interesting! I'm curious about total all time demand. Why is the graph up so much for 2026? Simply because it's extrapolating based on high demand winter months? Or real increase? Otherwise interesting the demand is trending down despite more usage put on the grid (heat pumps, EV…)

@katemorley that's awesome. Wonder if #taiwan has this. Forget the Olympics, we should have countries compete in these sorts of metrics.

@katemorley Fake news 😂 . My home solar is generating 4kw at the moment.
-
@DoctorDNS@masto.ai 2026-03-25 09:45
@katemorley we have solar panels and a battery. In the month so far, our house has used 327 kwh. 82% of that came from solar and the battery. On a sunny day in March, this rises to 90%. In June and July,our electricity costs are NEGATIVE. Imagine the impact if more solar was installed.

@katemorley well now I'm going to have spend the morning watching it like a hawk to see if we set a new wind record today!
-
@pa27@mastodon.social 2026-03-25 10:13
@katemorley That's good but it assumes none of the power from interconnects with Europe is fossil. That's at 3.6% Also - it's bloody cold and windy - good fro windfarms but bad for overall demand! March winds are fine but let's get spring back! 😀
-
@ross@hachyderm.io 2026-03-25 10:29
@katemorley have you considered exposing the mix from interconnects? I was pointed to https://www.rte-france.com/en/data-publications/eco2mix/power-generation-energy-source for France, for example.

@RichBartlett@infosec.exchange 2026-03-25 10:34
@katemorley I guess the wind is blowing really hard because its having to squeeze through the narrow gap at the Straits of Hormuz? XD
-
@budududuroiu@hachyderm.io 2026-03-25 11:16
@katemorley that's great, and really love your visualisation, but let's look at Paul Allen's (industrialised nation) energy consumption
-
@nusher@mastodon.scot 2026-03-25 11:30
@katemorley Definitely sunny and windy here.
-
@wildeng@ruby.social 2026-03-25 11:32
@katemorley where have I been so far? I just discovered this. Nice job!! And I'm amazed that renewables are doing so well
-
@mars1024@techhub.social 2026-03-25 11:44
@katemorley : yay! 🤩😇

@dzwiedziu@mastodon.social 2026-03-25 11:52
@katemorley The wind blows a gale The sun shines The fossil lobby can bugger off

@katemorley The situation is similar across Europe. For iOS users, the following app provides the latest figures: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1224594248

@Anomnomnomaly@beige.party 2026-03-25 12:14
@katemorley Yet people are still paying for their electric as if was 100% produced by gas.

@mkwadee@mastodon.org.uk 2026-03-25 12:21
@katemorley Thanks for the site. I use it all the time to monitor the energy mix in the UK.

@wheaty73@social.vivaldi.net 2026-03-25 12:29
@katemorley snowing here on and off as well!
-
@gabrielmarkley@techhub.social 2026-03-25 12:35
@katemorley thank you this thread and post made my morning its both informative, curious, and positive in a time I find most feeds the opposite. Great job improving the day!
-
@rachelplusplus@tech.lgbt 2026-03-25 13:02
@katemorley If I remember correctly, the grid has the technical ability to go down to zero fossil fuel usage as of last year, but this is the closest I've seen it in practice! Down to 32GW of renewables! (plus about 1GW of net imports, but I don't know if there's a good way to get a breakdown of that by likely production method?)

@f4grx@chaos.social 2026-03-25 13:09
@katemorley 1.22 Giggowatts is available!

@russss@chaos.social 2026-03-25 13:11
@katemorley I'm enjoying the edit updates on this post since I boosted it :)

@steevc@mastodon.org.uk 2026-03-25 13:18
@katemorley seeing that makes me happy with my panels contributing the odd kilowatt.
-
@Photo55@mastodon.social 2026-03-25 13:50
@katemorley As the amount of battery storage and return increases, that might become a figure of interest? I don't know how it would best be represented. Possibly no more than a green/blue meter as on my car, for saving Vs using, but perhaps even another ring reflecting source. #electricity I do like your existing meters.

@AzureArmageddon@mastodon.online 2026-03-25 14:56
@katemorley That's less than 1.21 jigawatts! Great news!
