Live data coverage
No reliable waste-only live feed
Elexon does not publish energy-from-waste as a separate generation category. Its OTHER series mixes batteries, large solar and miscellaneous Balancing Mechanism units, so using it here would duplicate other technologies and overstate waste generation.
Data boundary
Why the charts are omitted
A mixed proxy would look precise while measuring the wrong collection of generators.
- Installed capacity
- Published by DESNZ for major power producers
- Sites and locations
- Retained from the official capacity dataset
- Live power and daily energy
- Not shown without a defensible waste-only source
If a reliable unit-level or national waste series becomes available later, the live graphs can be restored without changing the capacity and location data.
