Electricity in the UK is supplied by a mix of different generation sources. Renewables like wind and solar produce no carbon dioxide at the point of generation, are dropping in price, and increasingly supply a large proportion of our power. But with their current limited capacity (we just haven’t built enough yet), we’re still quite dependent upon fossil fuels.
The UK’s National Grid Energy System Operator (NGESO) publishes half-hourly estimates of consumed electricity’s carbon intensity (CI), in grams of CO2 per kilowatt-hour.
