Current Energy

CURRENT shows you when electricity is cheapest and cleanest, so you can use it at the right time. Built for Octopus Agile customers, CURRENT turns half-hourly prices into a simple verdict for right now: use power, or wait. It combines your region's Agile prices with your region's carbon intensity, so you see what power costs and how clean it is. NOW • A plain-English verdict for this half-hour, based on price and carbon • The next best time to run your appliance • A 48-hour timeline of prices and carbon you can scrub through PRICES • Today's and tomorrow's Agile rates, as soon as they're published • Lowest, average and highest price at a glance • Negative-price periods highlighted, when you're paid to use power • A half-hour list that opens at the current slot PLAN • Pick an EV, washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer, immersion heater, home battery or your own appliance • Set how long it runs, its power and an optional "ready by" time, like an EV charged by 7am • See the cheapest, cleanest and best-balanced windows, with an estimated cost compared with starting now • Set a reminder for when your window starts GRID • Great Britain's live generation mix: wind, solar, nuclear, gas, imports and more • National demand over the last few hours • Interconnectors: what's flowing to and from France, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland, and how clean those imports are • Detail for every cable, with 24-hour history ALERTS Turn on negative-price alerts and CURRENT will notify you when prices drop below zero. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in, no ads and no tracking. Your region and settings stay on your device. Notifications are scheduled locally. DATA SOURCES Prices come from the Octopus Energy public API. Carbon intensity and generation mix come from NESO's Carbon Intensity API, demand and interconnector flows from Elexon BMRS, and neighbouring countries' generation from Energy-Charts. Cost estimates are a guide only and assume a steady draw at Agile unit rates. They don't include standing charges.
