GRIDCON pulls live data from the EirGrid Smart Grid Dashboard and presents it through a retro CRT terminal interface inspired by Cold War-era control rooms. Every number is real. Every trace is live.
FEATURES

DATA SOURCE
All data is sourced from the EirGrid Smart Grid Dashboard, a publicly available service provided by EirGrid for transparency. Grid metrics update every 5 minutes; frequency updates every 15 seconds.
