Britain's energy system publishes a colossal amount of data. Most of it sits in PDFs, CSVs, and dashboards that assume you already know what you're looking for. This series turns that raw output into something you can read in two minutes.
One question. One dataset. One chart that earns its place. Every dashboard pulls live from the source — NESO, Elexon, Ofgem, the DNOs — so the numbers move when the grid does.
Built for the curious non-specialist as much as the practitioner.
I work in the UK energy sector and spend a lot of my time helping colleagues navigate the same datasets — NESO publications, ENA portals, Ofgem reports — that I'm going to surface here. The questions they ask are usually variations of "what does the data actually say?", and the honest answer is "it takes a while to find out."
This series is the version of those answers I wish existed. Built in the open, live-wired to source data, designed to be readable in the time it takes to drink half a coffee.
