UK grid + market contextShareable URL state24h power view90d commodity view

Britain's electricity system, recut as a live briefing instead of a card wall.

Carbon is 14 g cleaner than the 24h average, CCGT (Gas) leads supply at 6.5 GW, Britain is importing 4.12 GW. The top layer explains what matters now; the deeper sections keep the raw curves, source mix, transfer behavior, and commodity context available for power users.
