Hey, thanks a lot for sharing, a couple comments/questions:
Would it be possible add a little more writeup in tooltips etc to help interpret graphs?
The time series data isn't possible to interrogate on a phone at all and in general I suspect it's too complex for most users, unless you're downloading a dataset and analysing. So I wonder if there's another way of displaying the data that gives some interpretation. Presumably the main figure we care about here is something like "hourly total renewable supply" and "hourly demand" so the energy mix might be better shown as a stacked chart not individual lines?
Perhaps the "non renewable" hourly component could be represented as a grey fill, to help communicate the total mix?
Would it be possible to also show the daily/monthly/annual totals in a sort of balance sheet, so we can see how/where tradeoffs between non-renewable and renewable certificates were made?
Perhaps I'm not explaining myself too well but while the point is to illustrate that at a real time level many suppliers are not matching demand with renewable supply, it becomes a bit confusing because it almost looks like they just aren't meeting demand at all.
Thanks for the work, it's a great project and will no doubt be valuable for policymakers
