GB Energy Monitor (update)
New versions of the Python server and html files (v260823.8) were uploaded to Github this morning.
Too many tweaks and fixes in this update to list, but a major change in this update includes the use of Octopus Energy flexible tariff rates for your energy use history. The earlier version used fixed rates. If your gas costs look wrong, go to the settings and change the gas "Units" selection from "auto" to "SMETS2" (m3). Meter types vary and the API doesn't carry the "type" data.
Additionally on the Environment Agency page, there's a new local weather conditions section which pulls data from Open Weather and Open Meteo. This uses your Open Weather API key that is entered on the electricity page, so data will be missing if you don't enter it.
I've had good reports from users of this app so far, so if you're a bit of a geek (and live in England) give it a try!

My GB Energy Monitor app has been refined and updated. Current builds are HTML build 260819.15 ยท Server build 260819.10.
Major revisions include access to your Octopus account's Agile API so that variable tariff and tariff changes are handled automatically (for Octopus customers only). The Environment Agency river levels, flooding and rainfall alert systems have been overhauled. Spoken alert rates are throttled smartly to avoid alert "flooding".
National electricity and gas supply and demand can be tracked with ease. Follow the grid frequency minute by minute to watch the peaks and troughs of demand in real-time throughout the day.
Grid Monitor is available free on Github. Please note that a running instance of Python 3 is required for running the data collection server.

Solar Eclipse
Some roads in Spain are getting busy as the total eclipse approaches.
As I was posting about UK energy, here's a capture of the pre-eclipse power sources currently feeding the UK grid. Solar is the prime source but is now declining as we are past noon. 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.

UK National Grid issues a "reduced margin" notice for the Eclipse
The UK's National Electricity System Operator (NESO) Electricity Control Centre has issued an "Electricity Margin Notice" covering a four hour period around the partial solar eclipse on Wednesday.
At the peak of the eclipse just after 17h UT, 90-95% of the sun will be obscured over the UK, cutting the power that PV solar cells can produce substantially for a period of time by up to 1760 MW. This, combined with the evening peak demand, has prompted NESO to issue the notice.
The Electricity Margin Notice is not a warning of impending power cuts. Instead it's letting the power generation industry know that there's a period when the safety margin will be reduced more than they want it to be, and therefore inviting flexible generation options to be made available at short notice should it be required. This is a normal type of request for this kind of event.
The full text of the notice in shown in the fourth image.

#GB #grid #frequency is staying quite low (~49.9Hz) but there is only ~5% #fossil #thermal #generation so maybe #NESO / #Elexon is going for 0% ie #fossilFree on this sunny-ish windy-ish Sunday afternoon?
