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, indicative 7 day seasonal baseline. Outputs: price volatility insight, peak and trough timing, market spread visibility, battery opportunity signals, future circuit sizing logic.

What does this Elexon price mean?

Interpretation: this is an Elexon System Price / imbalance price signal used in GB electricity settlement. It is not a retail tariff and it is not a simple consumer wholesale bill.

Market meaning: it reflects the marginal stress or surplus cost of balancing the power system in each settlement period. It can correlate with wholesale spot prices, but it is a balancing and settlement signal rather than a pure day ahead or intraday merchant price.

Forecast baseline: the dashed line is an indicative 7 day seasonal baseline calculated from historic Elexon price behaviour and shown only for the next week. It does not include weather, gas prices, outages, interconnector events, policy changes or market shocks. It is not financial advice, not trading advice and not an AI prediction.

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.

What is the Elexon System Price?

Elexon operates the Balancing and Settlement Code arrangements for Great Britain and publishes market data through BMRS. This chart uses the GB System Price, also called the imbalance price, shown in pounds per Megawatt hour.

The System Price is used in electricity settlement to price energy imbalance in each settlement period. It is useful as a signal of system stress, surplus or scarcity, but it is not a retail tariff and it is not the same as a household electricity bill.

Use: screening, education and market awareness only. Always check the official source before using the data commercially.
