Most live grid dashboards show how clean the power is. This one shows whether you can rely on it: how much of Great Britain's electricity comes from firm, dispatchable plant — and how much leans on weather and imports that go quiet together. Every figure traces to Elexon, NESO and DUKES; nothing is modelled.
