Earlier tonight 3 news was reporting on the current state of our power supply and was showing live power usage stats for various cities around the country. A friend of mine that works at Whirinaki in Hawkes Bay said they use a website in the office to look at the national grid and can see where the power is being generated at what capacity with live figures covering the grid and where its being used.

He never got back to me when i asked for the address so I was wondering if anyone else knows of such a website. I have tried searching google with no avail so I am wondering if it may be an internal resource on their intranet.

Anyone here know of such a website or where 3 news may have got their figures from. They showed differences in figures from 6pm and 6.35pm so they must have been reasonably live.
