I used Highcharts to create this European map to display the average wholesale baseload electricity prices in Q3 2021. SourceQuarterly report On European electricity markets

What do you mean by baseload prices ? Baseload is the minimum load required to keep the grid running. I'm not sure why those prices are relevant.

Yes, you are right. The idea is to make it on an interactive chart to be better displayed and get better interaction, such as showing countries within the same range.

That report is for 2021?

You are right, thx :)

Unnecessary gif is unnecessary.

Genuine question: Why do you think so?
The idea is to make it easier to explore the map, and check countries with similar or different prices.

Having the map you're trying to read partially flicker out of existence every few seconds does not make it easier to explore it.

The selections are inconsistent and have no rhyme or reason to them other than showing that you can interact with them. If you insist on using a gif, start blank and then reveal in a comprehensive order (ie: Lowest to highest), then give a longer period after all are revealed so that people can take in the full chart. Though, for such a small change, I’d honestly suggest just using a flat image.

Appreciate the effort, however I see why people dislike it - the animation is unnecessary as you can easily get all the info from the easy to read colouring.

Re post without animation and it will be much better received!

Why is UK and Ireland so expensive?

Thanks for the feedback :)

Good point, and thx for the feedback :)

I am open to feedback, and thx a lot for your feedback :)

Ireland is linked to the uk price. Uk has little to no gas storage and has a large reliance on gas.

Yeah, we're in a bad way in the UK...
