RealtimeCarbon.org provides data on the carbon intensity of the UK electricity supply.
We believe it is the best available source of its kind. But more is needed to reflect all aspects of the generation, transmission, and balancing of the supply.
This RealtimeCarbon.org forum provides a place for consumers, suppliers, grid operators, utilities, and government to come together to improve the data. In other words, your views matter so please post them up.
