This dashboard brings together electricity demand, generation mix, renewable output, carbon intensity and interconnector flows so you can see how Great Britain is being powered at the moment. It is designed for public understanding rather than trading, billing or operational decisions.
Demand shows how much electricity is being used across the grid. Generation shows how much power is being produced by sources such as gas, wind, solar, nuclear, hydro and biomass. Net imports show whether Britain is importing more electricity than it exports through interconnectors.
Wind, solar and hydro output can reduce the carbon intensity of electricity when they make up a larger share of generation. Carbon intensity is a useful indicator of how clean the current electricity mix is, but it can change quickly as demand, weather and generation availability change.
Interconnectors move electricity between Great Britain and neighbouring markets. Importing electricity does not automatically mean the grid is under pressure; flows can reflect market prices, demand, available generation and network conditions on both sides of the connection.
