Ireland electricity, live.
Demand, wind generation, carbon intensity and interconnector flow from EirGrid Group's Smart Grid Dashboard.

Full generation-by-fuel breakdown is not yet confirmed available from EirGrid's public data service — this dashboard shows only fields directly verified this session (demand, wind, carbon intensity, interconnection, frequency), not an estimate.

Ireland, Northern Ireland and interconnectors
Real Ireland and Northern Ireland boundaries (Natural Earth + ONS Countries December 2024, public/OGL data). Interconnector lines are schematic routes between each operator's own published landing points, not a cable-lay survey. Solid lines show live measured flow (direction + MW) where EirGrid publishes it this cycle; dashed grey lines show nameplate capacity only, when a live reading is unavailable — never a guessed flow.

Method, licences and limits
Honest about what each value means
Demand, wind generation, carbon intensity, CO2 emissions, interconnection and frequency come from EirGrid Group's Smart Grid Dashboard open data service, covering the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and the combined all-island system under the EirGrid Group Open Data Licence (commercial and non-commercial reuse permitted with attribution "Supported by EirGrid Group Data"). Generation-by-fuel breakdown and a demand forecast field were not confirmed available from this service this session and are not shown as an estimate. Northern Ireland's own TSO, SONI, has no separate data API — it delegates its own real-time system data to this same EirGrid service.
Why is there no generation-mix breakdown?
EirGrid's public dashboard was confirmed this session to publish demand, wind, carbon intensity/emissions, interconnection, frequency and system non-synchronous penetration — a full fuel-type breakdown was not confirmed available and is not shown as a guess.
What does the map show?
The real Ireland and Northern Ireland boundaries, plus schematic interconnector routes (East-West, Moyle, Greenlink) between each operator's own published landing points — not service-territory boundaries or a cable-lay reference.
What generates the grid-update articles?
The same locally hosted model used for the GB and US sites, evidence-checked against this page's own EirGrid/weather data before publication.
