Ten years ago, at pei.consuming.ca, I released a web app that displayed the current Prince Edward Island electricity load, and the proportion of that load being met by wind energy generation.
Ten years later, the app is still there, recently updated to include generation from local solar and diesel plants, and energy imported by submarine cable.
What once looked like this:

Now looks like this:

The app pulls data from the Province of PEI, and from the New Brunswick System Operator, and is updated every 15 minutes.
