Simplified explanation

How to read this page

Grid demand is the current tracked demand on the GB system. Domestic generation excludes interconnectors, while net imports shows whether Britain is taking power from or sending power to connected countries.

Clean share matches the main dashboard calculation: wind, solar, hydro, biomass and nuclear as a share of tracked supply, including imports.
