# Visualizing Electric Grid Data Was exploring some electric grid data this morning from [https://www.eia.gov/electricity/gridmonitor/dashboard/electric\_overview/balancing\_authority/PACE](https://www.eia.gov/electricity/gridmonitor/dashboard/electric_overview/balancing_authority/PACE) This is a pretty hefty 100MB dataset. Some pretty cool charts: Interchange data by week - so showing how the energy flows between two interconnects on the grid over time. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/plot/original/3X/5/c/5c3e377ff7a5477e29f05960e97719e8d7a0323e.jpeg) ![newplot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/plot/original/3X/8/a/8a336a491cf4b6e63a4e950ceb5ccae17096bcaf.png) Sankey diagram showing flows between interconnects: > Sankey diagram of energy flow between interconnects. > Color bands and nodes. > Option to sort nodes energy flow amount. > Multi-select option to show just certain interconnects or ALL > Option to show all flows vs low flows vs medium flows vs large flows > Option to color by node or color by amount of flow (blue for positive, red for negative) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/plot/original/3X/f/2/f21bba02b1d6e72f484564cd23af0d0be81005f1.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.plotly.com/t/show-tell-thread-favorite-charts/93370)._
