Carbon intensity update for 3rd Nov 25

At Jaxi, we’re committed to keeping you informed about the UK’s carbon intensity to help you make smarter energy decisions at home. Monitoring carbon intensity helps reduce your carbon footprint by letting you know the best times of day to use electricity when it’s sourced from greener, low-emission technologies.

On November 3, 2025, the UK saw consistently low carbon intensity levels, a promising sign for our sustainable energy future. Low carbon intensity indicates that the electricity being generated produces minimal CO2 emissions, which is especially important as we transition to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro.

However, when electricity demand spikes, backup generators may need to burn fossil fuels like coal or gas to meet the excess load. This results in higher carbon emissions during those peak hours. With real-time carbon intensity data from Jaxi, you can plan your high-energy activities—such as running dishwashers, washing machines, or charging electric vehicles—during periods of low carbon intensity to help reduce overall emissions.

Here’s the carbon intensity snapshot for November 3, 2025:

• 00:00 – 02:00: Forecast: 66–63 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 67–63 gCO2/kWh
• 02:00 – 04:00: Forecast: 64–58 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 64–58 gCO2/kWh
• 04:00 – 06:00: Forecast: 54–53 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 56–65 gCO2/kWh
• 06:00 – 08:00: Forecast: 55–63 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 72–67 gCO2/kWh
• 08:00 – 10:00: Forecast: 64–65 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 62–58 gCO2/kWh
• 10:00 – 12:00: Forecast: 63–61 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 60–56 gCO2/kWh
• 12:00 – 14:00: Forecast: 63–66 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 56–60 gCO2/kWh
• 14:00 – 16:00: Forecast: 66–71 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 62–66 gCO2/kWh
• 16:00 – 18:00: Forecast: 72–84 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 77–78 gCO2/kWh
• 18:00 – 20:00: Forecast: 89–80 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 71–74 gCO2/kWh
• 20:00 – 22:00: Forecast: 80–75 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 72–69 gCO2/kWh
• 22:00 – 00:00: Forecast: 71–61 gCO2/kWh | Actual: 68–60 gCO2/kWh

All time periods were rated with a “low” intensity index, meaning CO2 emissions remained minimal throughout the day. While brief increases occurred during early morning and evening hours, overall carbon performance was exceptional.

By staying aware of daily carbon intensity updates, you can conveniently shift your energy consumption to greener periods, helping reduce national CO2 output and support cleaner air for everyone. Jaxi makes it easy for you to be part of the climate solution—every decision counts.
