Topics covered
Generation
Current UK electricity generation by fuel type, including wind, solar, gas, nuclear, biomass, hydro and storage.
Demand
Current GB electricity demand and recent system context.
Carbon
Carbon intensity context from official carbon intensity data sources.
Interconnectors
Imports and exports between the UK and neighbouring markets where source data is available.
Data sources
Energy Mix is an explanatory dashboard built on authoritative open datasets. Important upstream sources include Elexon BMRS/FUELINST, NESO data sources, the Carbon Intensity API, and ENTSO-E or BMRS-derived data where relevant for interconnector and European context.
Caveats
- Energy Mix is not the official system operator or market data publisher; it visualises and explains public source data.
- Different electricity datasets update at different speeds.
- Transmission-connected generation, embedded wind/solar and settlement-period data may have different coverage and timestamps.
- Use the dashboard’s freshness indicators for the current source timestamp.
