AB - The Balancing Mechanism (BM) is the main tool for keeping electricity supply and demand balanced in Great Britain, while respecting network constraints. Between April 2022 and March 2025, its costs were £2–3 billion per year, prompting participants to call for more efficient dispatch and greater transparency. To help meet these needs, the article presents BMViewGB, an open-source, map-based visualisation tool that displays the spatial distribution of BM costs and volumes. The straightforward map layout is designed for users with varied professional backgrounds and can also act as a foundation for further research, such as the development of digital simulators of the Balancing Mechanism.
