Energy, price, carbon and commodity timestamps will appear here.
V5 experimental clone. Original tracker remains protected at /uk_energy_tracking/. This page uses isolated V5 feeds for development, transport energy and price history testing.
Near real time GB electricity demand, market price, carbon intensity and generation mix. Generation mix refreshes every 5 minutes; price and carbon update every half hour at their native cadence. Commodity prices update daily through GridBot.
Unit: pounds per Megawatt hour. Select a year, a start date and a period. The chart automatically loads the required Elexon annual CSV file and calculates the end date. The red line marks £0/MWh.
Grid intelligence machine:Inputs: Elexon prices, live demand, carbon data, oil and fuel data, time windows, day and night filters.Mechanism: lazy loading, event detection, high and low marker logic, date windowing, chart rendering, mobile full screen controls.Outputs: price volatility insight, peak and trough timing, market spread visibility, battery opportunity signals, future circuit sizing logic.

Road fuel price logic: Brent crude is quoted in US dollars per barrel. A rough product cost proxy converts USD per barrel into GBP per litre by applying an FX assumption and dividing by about 159 litres per barrel. UK pump prices then add refining spread, wholesale margin, logistics, retail margin, fuel duty and VAT.
EV charging comparison placeholder: Public EV tariffs will be compared with petrol, diesel, wholesale electricity and operator tariff data. The Atlas V8 reference is embedded below while the exact EV charging layer path is verified.
