Energy Price Forecast EU / Great Britain
GB electricity prices ยท Public beta
Tomorrow's GB electricity prices, and the days after
Tomorrow's auction result and a forecast are not the same thing. Every GB price on this site is our model's forecast; the official day-ahead auction prices are not shown here.
Beta: new models and a growing live history. Forecasts are not guarantees.
England, Scotland and Wales only. Northern Ireland is not included.
Forecast only, no auction prices
The GB day-ahead auction prices (N2EX) come from Nord Pool. We have no licence to pass them on, so we do not show them, not even for hours whose auction has already run. The curves show our forecast for every hour.
The normal overview covers up to five days. Forecasts for the next day are usually closer to the later auction result than those several days ahead.
How to read p/kWh
10 p/kWh means GBP 0.10 per kilowatt-hour. A 40 kWh charge at that base price would cost GBP 4 before tariff charges and taxes.
These are wholesale prices, not an estimate of your final bill. Negative wholesale prices do not necessarily mean that your household tariff becomes negative.
What drives the model?
The GB model combines forecast weather, modelled wind and solar output, electricity demand, published generation and interconnector availability, and British gas-price inputs. Available capacity is not assumed to be actual generation or a guaranteed import flow.
The model is new in public operation. In particular, performance several days ahead is still being measured. Use it to compare possible time windows, not as a guaranteed price or savings promise.
History and missing values
The history keeps the predictions as they were issued live, without the later auction prices. It will not contain 30 complete days immediately after launch.
