The UK's National Grid carbon intensity has dropped to 112gCO2/kWh, the lowest level in the past 24 hours. Energy trackers are telling households it is a good moment to run energy-hungry appliances like washing machines, since electricity is currently being generated with relatively low carbon emissions. The advice reflects a growing trend of people timing their energy use to periods when the grid is greener.
Why now: Low-carbon grid periods let people cut their household emissions by shifting appliance use, and the current low reading is being shared as actionable advice.
