Generation by fuel type, from Elexon's FUELINST dataset (published every 5 minutes) ·
wind is shown as actual + capacity instructed off via the Balancing Mechanism, same correction
as the Fundamentals tab's wind chart · interconnector flows are excluded from Generation
Mix (see the Interconnectors tab) · embedded solar isn't in FUELINST and isn't shown there.

Carbon Intensity
NESO's own Carbon Intensity API (not Elexon) · center figure is the CI of
the grid overall for the current half-hour, based on NESO's CI forecast — 'point of
generation', not lifecycle, emissions · donut shows how each source contributes to those emissions
by %, using the same latest 5-minute generation data as Generation Mix
Gas (CCGT): 55.2% of emissions -- 394 gCO2/kWh x 6.54 GW Other imports: 18.2% of emissions -- 300 gCO2/kWh x 2.83 GW Netherlands imports: 10.6% of emissions -- 474 gCO2/kWh x 1.05 GW Biomass: 7.6% of emissions -- 120 gCO2/kWh x 2.94 GW Other: 5.0% of emissions -- 300 gCO2/kWh x 0.78 GW France imports: 3.4% of emissions -- 53 gCO2/kWh x 2.99 GW 55% 18% 11% 8% 5% 115 gCO2/kWh (moderate)

Methodology & attribution
Hover a slice to see its own CI factor and how it's calculated. Figures for
imports are separated by country where NESO publishes a distinct factor (France, Netherlands, Ireland)
— CI varies a lot by source grid, e.g. France is mainly nuclear while Irish imports have a
relatively high proportion of fossil fuels in the mix. Every other import country is grouped as "Other
imports" using the generic factor, since NESO doesn't publish a country-specific one for those links.
Battery and Pumped Storage are treated as zero CI at point of generation. Data updates every 5 minutes.
See NESO's Carbon
Intensity site for a list of CIs used and to search historical CI data going back to 2009.

GB Power Flow
today so far · BM Generation, Imports, LV Wind and Embedded Solar feed the
central generation-mix donut, which in turn feeds Pumped Storage, Exports and Other demand · Total
Demand is Transmission System Demand (ITSDO) plus embedded wind/solar, not the Fundamentals tab's Demand
figure (INDO) — the two don't reconcile against generation the same way · "Other demand" is a
residual (distribution-level demand, transmission losses and generators' own station load, combined) since
station load has no public GB-wide figure of its own
