Generation

Energy generated near you

Enter a postcode above to see the renewable power stations, wind farms and solar farms built near you.

This is installed renewable generation capacity near the postcode, not live output. The register records which projects exist and how big they are, not how much electricity they are producing right now. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (DESNZ), operational projects only. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the postcode.

Network

Your local energy network

Distribution network operator

Grid region / GSP group

Your distribution network operator maintains the cables, substations and meters that bring electricity to your street. You do not choose them and you cannot switch them, they are who you call during a power cut, on 105. Your Grid Supply Point group is the industry code for your part of the network, and it is what determines the regional prices above.
