EirGrid (Ireland Grid)

Live

EirGrid all-island Irish grid (ROI + Northern Ireland): live system demand, wind & solar actuals/forecasts, fuel mix, interconnector flows, CO2 intensity, and SNSP.

What is EirGrid (Ireland Grid)?

EirGrid Smart Grid Dashboard — the all-island Irish transmission system operator (Republic of Ireland + Northern Ireland). Public REST/JSON, no credentials. Live 15-minute system demand (MW), wind and solar generation actuals and forecasts (MW), the live fuel mix (gas/coal/renewable/net-import shares), named interconnector flows (EWIC, Moyle, Greenlink), carbon intensity and emissions, and System Non-Synchronous Penetration (SNSP). Region can be all-island, Republic of Ireland (ROI), or Northern Ireland (NI). Joins the power-markets family (caiso/ercot/aemo/entsoe/cammesa).
