Data provided by National Energy System Operator (NESO) via the Carbon Intensity API.

Installation

pip install aioukcarbon

Usage

import asyncio
from aioukcarbon import CarbonIntensityClient

async def main():
    async with CarbonIntensityClient() as client:
        # Regional intensity by postcode
        regional = await client.get_regional_intensity("DE45")
        print(f"Region: {regional.shortname}")
        print(f"Forecast: {regional.periods[0].intensity.forecast} gCO2eq/kWh")
        print(f"Index: {regional.periods[0].intensity.index}")

        # National intensity
        national = await client.get_national_intensity()
        print(f"National: {national.intensity.forecast} gCO2eq/kWh")

        # Generation mix
        mix = await client.get_generation_mix()
        for fuel in mix.generationmix:
            print(f"  {fuel.fuel}: {fuel.perc}%")

        # 24h regional forecast
        forecast = await client.get_regional_forecast("DE45")
        for period in forecast.periods:
            print(f"  {period.from_time}: {period.intensity.forecast} gCO2eq/kWh")

asyncio.run(main())
