What’s new

A sharper carbon gauge — plus confidence ranges on predicted prices.

• Carbon gauge now follows the official National Grid intensity bands, so the colour always matches the reading
• New "Very Low" and "Very High" readings for the cleanest and dirtiest times
• Smoother gauge with a refreshed gradient and rounded ends
• Predicted prices show a range (e.g. "~16.5p ±3p") on tomorrow's slots and Cheapest/Peak chips
• Forecasts more accurate, especially around the evening peak
