Real time information and forecasting on levels of renewable energy in the national grid.

The Smart Energy Traffic Light System lets you know when your local energy is coming from clean, green sources. You can use this page to quickly plan when you might sustainably carry out energy-intensive tasks. How clean your electricity is really depends on when you use it and not on who is supplying it to you.
