Carbon intensity update for 24th Oct 25

On 24th October 2025, the carbon intensity of electricity across the UK remained consistently low, signalling another step forward in our collective journey towards a greener and more sustainable future. At Jaxi, we believe in empowering our users with real-time carbon intensity updates to help them make informed decisions about their energy usage. Today’s data showcases how cleaner energy generation can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.

Key Highlights from 24th October:

• From 11 PM on 23rd October to 11 PM on 24th October, carbon intensity levels stayed within the low range.
• Peak carbon intensity was recorded between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM, reaching 85 gCO₂/kWh – a common timeframe for increased electricity demand.
• Throughout the day, values ranged between 49 and 85 gCO₂/kWh, with no significant spikes.
• Evening hours saw a gradual decline, dropping from 68 to 54 gCO₂/kWh by 10:30 PM.

This consistent performance highlights the UK’s growing ability to rely on renewable and low-carbon energy sources. When electricity demand rises sharply, fossil-fuel-based generators — such as coal or gas — may be used to meet that excess load. However, today’s figures show that demand was largely met without significantly increasing emissions.

Utilising lower-carbon electricity isn’t just good for the environment — it can also help consumers play a proactive role in reducing their own carbon footprint. With tools like Jaxi’s carbon intensity tracker, households and businesses can decide the best times to run energy-intensive appliances, such as dishwashers, washing machines, or heating systems, aligning usage with periods of low carbon intensity.

By shifting energy consumption to greener hours, not only do we reduce emissions, but we also support a cleaner grid by lowering peak demand pressure. This is particularly important during early mornings and evenings when renewable supply may be limited and backup fossil-fuel generation could otherwise kick in.

We encourage all Jaxi users to stay informed and take small daily actions that contribute to a more sustainable energy landscape. Every kilowatt-hour saved during high-carbon periods brings us closer to our goal of net-zero emissions.
