UK Carbon Intensity — Current

Get the current national carbon intensity of UK electricity generation from the National Grid ESO. Returns the half-hour period timestamps, forecast intensity in gCO2/kWh, actual intensity in gCO2/kWh (when available), and a qualitative index (very low / low / moderate / high / very high). Data is updated every 30 minutes. Lower values indicate cleaner electricity — useful for smart energy scheduling, EV charging optimisation, and sustainability dashboards. CC BY 4.0, no upstream cost.
