The UK Grid Weekly Report

The UK Grid Toolkit pulls half-hourly data directly from Elexon BMRS and NESO every hour. It shows wholesale prices, renewable generation, carbon intensity, and battery arbitrage analysis and turns it into ready-to-use insight. If you’re advising clients on contract timing, storage, or carbon reduction, this tool is meant to save you from building the spreadsheet yourself. This section is updated every Tuesday with a weekly summary of the UK grid.

Why did UK electricity go negative three times last week?

Data are sourced from Elexon BMRS half-hourly settlement prices and NESO Data Portal. The merit order suppression model is based on Cludius et al. (2014) and Clò et al. (2015). Carbon calculations use UK ETS price of £45/tonne and DESNZ 2024 grid factor of 181 gCO₂/kWh. Caption:
