Nick Flowers Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Why anyone but a total obsessive would be interested in this - and that describes me quite well - I cannot say. But this link http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ takes you to a display that not only gives you the current electrical power consumption in the UK, but also from what sources it is fed: coal, gas turbine, hydro, etc etc. If you like this sort of thing, I am glad to have passed it on; if it bores you, my apologies. It sometimes takes quite a long time to load, be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Duffy Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Very cool, lots of interesting data there. Having seen that, I had to find one for California. There's probably better, but here's a starting point: http://www.caiso.com/outlook/SystemStatus.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisnewton Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Interesting chart Daniel. Noticed that here in Canada our per capita energy usage is nearly twice that of the UK. We are power hogs for sure, but it does get cold in the winter. Iceland has by far the highest usage, follwed by some of the Gulf states. Hot 'n cold!

daniel Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Iceland uses geothermal (expressed in kgoe) so their usage has little environmental impact. Less so the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
