What

Add an overall graph for the electric network (new tab, probably?). Show potential demand as a red line and a potential supply as a green line on the first graph. Show accumulators charge on the second graph. Just the same numbers as shown on the bars, but as a graph.

Why

• Graphs are split by producers/consumers, it's hard to tell how much energy was produced/consumed in total.
• Graphs show only real consumption (minimum between potential demand and potential supply), it's hard to tell how much over- or undersupply we had a minute ago.
• It's hard to tell how much charge was in accumulators at the specific point of time.
• Bars have all that info, but only for current instant. There are no historical data.

With overall graph we will be able to answer those questions quickly and easily.

That's actually a cool idea, especially with the accumulator charge. I imagine you likely won't have been the first to suggest that however.

There is no similar suggestion, but a sister:
