Real-time electricity data

Terms

Terms and Disclaimer

The practical limits of a live public-data dashboard: source delays, revisions, external APIs, and no professional advice.

Plain-English disclaimer

UK Grid Live is an informational electricity-data site. It is not an energy-supply service, investment service, trading service, or official system operator publication.

Use of the site

UK Grid Live provides live and historical views of Great Britain electricity-system data using public datasets and public APIs. The site is intended for general information, education, and public-interest monitoring.

No professional advice

Information on this site should not be treated as financial, energy-contract, engineering, legal, or investment advice. Electricity prices, grid conditions, generation mix, and forecasts can change quickly.

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.

Public data sources

Sources may include Elexon BMRS, Carbon Intensity API, NESO datasets, Sheffield Solar PVLive, Octopus Energy public APIs, Open-Meteo, OpenStreetMap, and other public or open datasets. Source names and copyrights remain with their respective providers.

External links and services

The site links to external source APIs, social platforms, data providers, map services, and support/payment pages. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices.

Advertising

UK Grid Live may display advertising. Advertising does not change the site’s live-data calculations or source selection. See the privacy policy for advertising and consent information.

Corrections

Questions or suspected errors can be sent through the contact page. Please include the affected URL, timestamp, and source/value being queried.
