“Live Supply & Demand Widget” |

On Friday 27th May 2022 we upgraded the ‘Live Supply & Demand Widget’ – which we have been pleased to provide as a freely accessible source of supply/demand information for many years thanks to the sponsorship of RenewEconomy.

Some of the enhancements made to the widget at this time, include:

Enhancement #1) We reworked the code of the widget at the back end to take account of a number of different points of feedback received from widget users (submitted to us via the feedback function); and

Enhancement #2) We added in more explanation about the widget here on WattClarity, and a link to it under the ‘FAQ’ button on the widget.
