North American Renewables Map

Prototype. Plant output is estimated by splitting each grid region's hourly total among its plants. Ontario's and Alberta's large plants are metered.

      Wind roses and sun arcs each sum up a region: all the wind or solar farms within a few degrees, drawn at the capacity-weighted centre of them. They show regional conditions, not any one farm's.

      Largest output this hour

      Circle area is proportional to MW: the outline is nameplate capacity, the solid fill is the estimate for the selected hour. A grey outline means that plant's region has no data for the hour yet. Violet lines are grid regions; US ones are approximate and some overlap. Click inside one for its totals. Moving lines show wind at 100 m, about turbine hub height; brighter lines are faster wind.
