About this data
Live flows are Elexon BMRS interconnector readings. Positive values are power coming into Great Britain; negative values are power leaving. Cables to different countries often flow in opposite directions at the same time.
Capacity, landing points and opening years were checked against each operator's website on 11 October 2026. Available capacity can be lower during maintenance or faults. Routes on the map are drawn as simple curves, not surveyed cable paths.
