Energy Dashboard is an independent UK-based energy data platform that helps people understand how Great Britain’s electricity system is performing — in real time and historically.

Our focus is on accuracy, transparency, and presenting complex system data in clear, accessible formats that support everyone from curious visitors to experienced energy professionals.

We consolidate data from trusted industry sources — including the National Energy System Operator (NESO), Elexon, and long-standing reference datasets such as REPD and DUKES — and present this information through interactive charts, time-series views, and map-based tools that make the data easy to explore and compare.

The Live and Historical sections of the site focus on national-level GB data. In addition, we provide granular asset-level insights through our Generation Sites Map and Database. These tools offer detailed profiles for hundreds of power stations, wind farms, solar parks, and battery sites across the UK. Many sites now include dedicated pages featuring live generation charts, mapping, and images; helping users understand how individual assets behave and how they contribute to the wider electricity system.

Energy Dashboard began as a small independent project by a UK developer and has grown into a trusted resource for analysts, engineers, educators, consultants, academics, and anyone with an interest in the UK energy system. The mission has remained the same: to make electricity data transparent, accurate, and easy to work with.

The website now receives over one million visits from UK-based users each year, alongside a steadily growing international audience.

For organisations that require deeper data access, Energy Dashboard offers a Premium API Data Service providing structured live, historical, and forecast datasets — including power-station-level generation and demand. These endpoints are used for modelling, research, operational dashboards, and commercial energy analysis.

We continue to expand the platform with new data sources, enhanced site-level insights, and tools designed to support better understanding of the UK’s transition to a cleaner, low-carbon electricity system.

To help support the ongoing development and maintenance of the platform, we offer a limited advertising service for carefully selected partners. This allows organisations operating within the energy sector to reach our highly engaged, energy-focused audience in a clean and unobtrusive way.
