About
Learn about energy production, demand and consumption using the Smart Grid dashboard. Using real time data the dashboard allows you to view and compare energy data for Ireland, Northern Ireland, or all island.
Customise and download energy data
The dashboard allows you to:
- Switch between all island, Ireland and Northern Ireland
- Customise graphs by date
- Compare and download data to .csv options
View and compare key energy data
We’ve used the dahsboard to publish our most popular data across 7 key categories:
- System demand → How we predict demand so our production levels meet electricity consumption.
- System generation → Data about the total energy production on the system.
- Wind generation → An estimate of the total electrical output of all wind farms on the system.
- Interconnection → This data represent the estimated current net electricity transfer in MW on the East West and Moyle Interconnector.
- Imbalance Price/Volume → This data shows the time weighted average Imbalance Price and Net Imbalance Volume for each 30 minute Trading Period.
- Frequency → This data shows the frequency over 5 second intervals. When supply and demand are in balance, the frequency will be 50Hz.
- CO₂ → This data shows the average CO₂ emissions per unit of electricity generation output at 15 minute intervals.
