Superdooper AI centres in England development permit 2025, can't get grid connection till 2035.

Why? Waiting on UKgrid upgrade PAID FOR BY US SUCKER PUNTERS.

We're to pay to build the energy backbone for AI.. WTF

An update from me - there's an addition to the family arriving earlier than planned so this is about as polished as it'll get for now: Beta for Version 2 of TerraVolt. It has quirks & faults but it is about usable & less heavy going on devices:

UK & Ireland Grid Monitor

Something broke with the rain gauge monitoring module. A new update has been uploaded. Apologies for the "flood" of new versions - as is normal with coding you fix one thing and break another!

The statistics panel has a "wind" option where the number of new cuts is correlated with maximum wind gusts nationally of for each region.

The normal operational range is between 49.8 and 50.2 Hz. The statutory operating limits are 49.5 to 50.5 Hz. Automatic response mechanisms are triggered to try to absorb the excess power above 50.2 Hz.

"Why is UK energy so expensive? Gas still prices all electricity via marginal pricing — even with wind & solar dominating. £1,758 cap, electricity 4x gas cost. Time for nuclear + storage to change the game. ⚡💸 #UKGrid

Heavy gas usage day today. Pretty much all the CCGT fleet is in along with a fair chunk of OCGT (which will no doubt rise for the peak tonight) #energysky #ukgrid.

Using Docker, you can run a local instance of Open Meteo in order to guarantee a weather feed should the others fail. Check out the README.MD on Github for details of how to do this. Screen captures of the grid monitor are also on this page:

Zonal and national pricing look the same... until a grid constraint hits. Then prices split by location. The UK's incoming "reformed national pricing" could carry zonal principles. Watch the full video out now on YouTube #ZonalPricing #UKGrid #EnergyPolicy

Solar will almost disappear in a couple of hours during peak eclipse, somewhat sooner than it would without the eclipse. GAS is flashing green as generators are brought online to fill the shortage.

I'm not going to get too involved in the headaches that Spain & Portugal have in restoring their grid but for those interested in the UK, the plan can be found in OC9:

Gas demand is exceeding supply by 14% with the linepack in "drawdown" mode. Gas generators are consuming gas at a rate of 47.6 mcm/day to supply 10.27 GW of electricity. Norwegian imports of gas account for only 40.3 mcm/day at this moment.

Some additional sites added to the live power wheel:
24x Grid Batteries (was quite surprising how many have appeared!)
2x PV Sites
11x Synchronous Condensers (seeing as I had a bit of a space where Coal was - these are based purely on MEL for state.)

UK Electricity

The UK's electricity mix is vastly different now to last night. Gas generators are tonight providing ~46% of the supply due to a large drop in available wind power.

Gas supply is in drawdown and demand is exceeding supply by 20%. This is partly because gas power stations are drawing so much gas to produce electricity.
