Really useful
I use this to plan my discretionary electricity use such as washing machine. Also interesting to see the constantly hanging mix of power generation. Very grateful to the app developers for what they have done.

Description
Track the carbon intensity of the GB electricity grid on your iPhone or iPad
Demand for electricity varies throughout the day, and thus, the mix of generators supplying this electricity continually changes. As a result, the carbon intensity of the electricity – the quantity of CO2 produced for 1 kWh of electricity consumed – also varies continually. Deferring your use of electricity to off-peak times, when the carbon intensity is low, can help reduce your carbon footprint.
Features:
- Data updated every 5 minutes.
- Display of instantaneous carbon intensity (gCO2/kWh).
- Traffic light indicator to highlight period of low and high carbon intensity.
- Generation mix summary showing total and percentage supply by type.
- Line plot showing carbon intensity over the previous 24 hours.
- Interactive bar chart showing the generation mix over the previous 24 hours.

App no longer updating?
Was a great app but seems to have stopped updating?
Stopped working
Excellent App and really useful and simple to share with others what the grid Carbon intensity is. However stopped working a week ago and data no longer available.
almost perfect
does one thing really well one “nice to have”: it would be great if the total would collapse or scroll up when scrolling up the source list, to fit more entries on the display great app!
Doesn’t show graph
Gives nice snapshot but no graph over time.
Can’t see the graphs
This app looks brilliant but I can only see the first page. How do you get onto the line and bar charts? Thanks.
Great UK grid carbon intensity in real time
This is great app. I rely upon it to decide when to run my appliances and large electrical loads. So that I limit my impact somewhat.
Archived data
Great APP but would be a fantastic one if archived data could be accessed
Stopped working
This app has stopped updating over the last few days, so right now is useless. 26/7/2021
Great app
Excellent app. Simple and clear. Fascinating to look at in windy / sunny / cold days etc. Also good for seeing when to put the dishwasher on to minimise carbon.
