Electricity is changing in the 21st century. Coal is being phased out and renewable energy sources like wind and solar now make up a quarter of our electricity. This means that the greenness of our electricity now varies throughout the day. When it’s sunny and windy, we’ve got more green power. When it’s overcast and calm, we’ve got more fossil fuels online. This new forecasting tool shows you what the greenest and dirtiest times of day will be up to 24 hours ahead. This can help you plan your energy use, switching things on when energy is green and off when it’s not. *****
