This has just had a major update to include other renewables (eg hydro, solar) as well as non-renewable energy sources (gas).

It’s also added grid boundaries and cabling recently - and I think there’s also wind roses planned?

My one UI wish - the energy sources filters are currently displayed as options on the map - rather than controls for the entire UI - which meant I missed them entirely at first. Would be great if they could be given more prominence.

Definitely wind roses planned, I posted about them on my LinkedIn page if anyone is curious (linked on the main map).

That's a great point about the controls. Originally the map only showed wind farms and as I've expanded the features the control system (and really the entire UX) hasn't kept up. I need to sit down and have a proper think about how best to design the controls and documentation.
