Use of the site

No professional advice

Data accuracy and availability
The dashboard depends on upstream public data sources. Values may be delayed, revised, incomplete, temporarily unavailable, or affected by source outages. UK Grid Live aims to display useful public information clearly, but cannot guarantee that every value is complete, current, or error-free at all times.
