I really enjoy this one: https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/GB

It shows energy sources for all of the countries in Europe on a map, import/export, prices and CO2 intensity.

The visualisation on that site is good, but it's sadly plauged with data errors. The UK data doesn't seem to correspond to any other source I can find. I think it might be delayed by 24 hours, but even that doesn't seem quite right...

A GitHub issue was filed regarding this: https://github.com/electricitymaps/electricitymaps-contrib/i...

Well, that issue explains a lot. The data source went missing, so the website just made up some data and used that instead!

That whole website is a nonsense, what's the point in visualising imaginary data and pretending it's real...

Totally agreed. May be the top link change to non-lying site so not to affect all the good works of others.
