I note that one of those lines seems to take a big detour up and round Cruachan?

The lines are sort of arbitrary in a geographic sense as in reality they are defined based on the intersection with the schematic version of the transmission network [0]. Though yeah, that specific example is an odd one and I'd be interested to understand more about why it was placed in one boundary and not the other.

  • Lovely site. As a wind energy ignoramus, it would be great to add descriptions to your FAQ for the red lines, and curtailment.

    • I'll make sure to get the about page updated soon, it's been a bit neglected with being so focussed on the recent upgrades. Definitely a lot I can explain better, and also ways that I can solve that with better UX in general.
