UK grid carbon intensity dips, ideal time to run appliances

Original: 166gCO2/kWh National Grid CO2 intensity is LOW wrt last 24h so you can run your wash etc now! https://www. earth.org.uk/

National Grid carbon intensity has fallen to 166gCO2/kWh, a low level compared with the last 24 hours, prompting a call for households to run energy-hungry appliances like washing machines now. Real-time grid intensity tracking is increasingly used to help people cut emissions by timing electricity use to moments when the UK power mix is cleanest.

Why now: Grid carbon intensity is currently at a 24-hour low, so people are being encouraged to shift electricity use to this cleaner window.
