Choose a wind site
Larger circles mean higher-capacity wind farms. Green means a current plan is available, amber means the grid operator has asked the wind farm to change it, and grey means live information is unavailable.
Select a name here or choose a marker on the map. The site’s current plan and supporting grid information will appear in this panel.
What the planned power figure means
The figure shows how much power a wind farm said it planned to supply during the current half-hour. Elexon calls this its declared position. It is a plan sent to the electricity system, not measured output from a live meter.
Britain’s grid operator can ask a wind farm to change that plan to help balance supply and demand. Where that happens, the panel shows the revised amount separately. If any linked record is missing from the response, the whole-site figure is marked unknown rather than quietly replacing the missing amount with zero.
Why the map does not show every wind farm
This is a checked set of links between different official records, not a search for every turbine. Official records often use different site names, so the map includes only wind farms that could be matched confidently and located accurately.
Frequently asked questions
Does the planned power figure show a wind farm’s actual output?
No. It shows how much power the wind farm said it planned to supply during the current half-hour. Elexon calls this its declared position. It is not a meter reading. If the grid operator asks the wind farm to change its plan, the revised amount is shown separately.
Why is a wind farm missing from the map?
A site appears only after its government record has been matched to its current Elexon electricity-market records and that link has been checked by a person. Smaller sites may not appear in Elexon’s market data, some government records lack usable coordinates, and uncertain matches are deliberately withheld.
Why does a site show “unknown” rather than zero?
Zero is a real power plan. Unknown means one or more linked grid records did not have a usable current plan, or the relevant Elexon feed was unavailable. Treating missing information as zero would understate the wind farm.
