Carbon intensity update for 22nd Nov 25

UK Carbon Intensity Update for 22nd November 2025

At Jaxi, we’re committed to helping our users make smarter energy decisions by keeping them informed about carbon intensity levels. Monitoring carbon intensity helps reduce the strain on non-renewable sources and encourages the use of cleaner energy when it’s most available. Here’s an overview of the UK’s electricity carbon intensity throughout the day on 22nd November 2025, with tips on when to schedule high-energy appliances.

00:00 – 02:30: The day begins with Low carbon intensity, ranging from 101 to 95 gCO₂/kWh. This is an ideal time to use energy-intensive devices sustainably. 🌿

02:30 – 05:00: The low trend continues, even dipping to 87 gCO₂/kWh, maintaining clean energy usage through the early morning hours. 👏

05:00 – 08:00: With increased activity, carbon intensity shifts to Moderate levels, reaching a peak of 134 gCO₂/kWh around 07:30. Consider limiting non-essential energy usage during this window.

08:00 – 11:00: Late morning continues with Moderate levels between 136 and 143 gCO₂/kWh, reflecting higher nationwide electricity demand during typical morning routines.

11:00 – 14:00: Midday remains Moderate, climbing slightly to 158 gCO₂/kWh. If possible, delay high-consumption tasks until carbon intensity dips again.

14:00 – 18:30: The afternoon sees a peak in forecasted intensity, rising as high as 191 gCO₂/kWh. Fortunately, actual levels were somewhat lower at 176 gCO₂/kWh. Still, this period had the highest emissions of the day.

18:30 – 20:30: Evening begins to see improvements, with levels dropping to 161 gCO₂/kWh while still within the Moderate range. Gradual easing of demand starts here.

20:30 – 23:00: As night falls, carbon intensity taps back down to Low, ending the day at a cleaner 95 gCO₂/kWh. Another great window to run your appliances while staying eco-conscious. 🌜

Why It Matters:

• Low carbon intensity means more of your electricity is coming from renewable or low-emission sources. This is the best time to run washing machines, dishwashers, or charge electric vehicles.
• Moderate levels often indicate that fossil fuels like coal or gas are supplementing electricity supply due to higher demand. Try reducing consumption during these times to lower overall emissions.

By planning your energy use around these carbon intensity updates, you not only save on your energy bills but also help the environment. Stay tuned to Jaxi for daily updates and smart energy tips to support a cleaner, greener UK.

Together, let’s reduce our carbon footprint—one appliance at a time.
