Estimate Solar Energy Generation for Any Location
Calculate how much electricity a solar installation would generate at any UK location based on irradiance and panel configuration.
Check Live Electricity Prices by Region
Get current electricity prices for any UK region to optimise energy usage and reduce bills.
Tool
Electricity prices in the UK vary significantly by region and fluctuate throughout the day, but most consumers and businesses have no visibility into these changes. Smart appliances, EV chargers, and battery storage systems can all be scheduled to use cheaper electricity — but only if you know when and where prices are lowest.
The electricity_prices skill returns live and forecast half-hourly electricity prices by region, including the wholesale rate. You can identify the cheapest periods in the next 24 hours, compare regional pricing, and plan high-consumption activities accordingly. The data is suitable for both manual planning and automated energy management systems.
Homeowners with solar panels or EV chargers, building managers optimising commercial energy costs, and developers building smart home integrations all rely on this data to make time-of-use decisions that meaningfully reduce energy bills.
