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 saves you from building the spreadsheet yourself. Want to try it? Contact us for a free trial.
