Carbon Intensity Forecast for Scotland, England and Wales

nesodata/country-carbon-intensity-forecast

Forecast carbon intensity of the electricity grid in Scotland, England and Wales, half hour by half hour, between two UTC timestamps, in grams of CO2 per kilowatt hour, from 2018-09 to about two days ahead. Every value is NESO's modelled forecast, including for half hours already past; there is no measured value and no index. Scotland reads exactly 0 in about 4% of half hours (a floor on a model, not a measurement). Oldest first, at most 500 rows; a few half hours in the history have no row. Supported by National Energy SO Open Data. Reused under the NESO Open Data Licence; Omnial is not an official NESO product and NESO does not endorse it.
