Anyone have a fave grid site that they watch?

I'll start with these two. Would be handy to have an ongoing resource to share?

This one's quite nice - shows the Co2 intensities of most European grids in real time

Not a grid-monitoring site per se, but on Twitter, the account @enappsys gives some very useful information on grid market action quite often

When I provided may last reading to Sheffield the email said funding had been withdrawn and the site was going to be closed - anybody know anything more about this as it is the only site making any attempt to monitor solar as far as I know?

I'll add this to the mix.

https://openinframap.org/#2/26/12

Context: Map based "world" zoom in to the area of interest & overlay with existing (logged) infrastructure including..

Power
Solar Generation
Telecoms
Oil & Gas
Water

(good for checking your own area, as that is the place you know best & the seasonal variances within)

Full dashboard only works on desktop. Includes estimates of embedded wind and solar so tends to report a higher figure than sites that don't. Doesn't handle exports clearly though.
