Just occurred to me that the pumped system is a two way system. That is, it uses electricity from the grid during low demand to pump water into the reservoir, then in high demand it returns the electricity to the grid (minus whatever).
For a true record, should the dial be plus and minus (like the interconnects) to record when electricity is being extracted, and when it is being returned?
Assuming, of course, that the extra data is available.
Just a passing thought.

Tell Dinorwig that.
They (national griddont record what they use. Only what they generate, France is the reverse.
If it were, Id have included it

Ah, I think the pumping data is from NESO:
Ooh. That looks like it might have more data than I found.
But when I downloaded the link

That works. Thank you.
I now have their data back to 2009, right up to date.
