What this data is
Live carbon intensity is the emissions intensity of electricity supplied to a region at a point in time. It can support operational optimisation decisions where activity is time-flexible.
This is not a company carbon footprint. It does not replace statutory SECR reporting and it does not replace DESNZ and DEFRA conversion factors used in governance-led Scope 1 to 3 reporting.
Switch Neutral does not provide assurance, verification, or certification. Directors remain responsible for statutory sign-off where applicable.
