Many of our (U.K.) utility companies and public services produce data feeds or mapping information. There are even publicly available real time graphs of that data. I think it’s pretty fascinating and so I’ll be using this blog to collect them.

Electricity demand and current generation levels from various sources
http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/
Graph showing National Grid Status of energy produced by Coal, Nuclear, Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT), Wind, Hydro and how much we import from overseas. It also graphs the usage of each of those sources annually, monthly, weekly and daily.

National grid balance
http://www.dynamicdemand.co.uk/grid.htm
Power balance of the UK electricity grid. 50% means we are using what we are producing. Below 48% will result in blackouts because more power is needed. Above 52% will result in blackouts are generators will start to trip because they are working too hard. The meter actually shows the grid’s “frequency", which is related to the speed of rotation of generators all over the country.

Public Service Monitor

Monitors the internet for articles relating to Fire, Health, Housing, Police and Council. It breaks them down into areas and decides whether the News items, blog articles or forum posts were positive, just mentions or negative.
