The thin red line shows the forecast for the whole year. We show the National Grid forecast from the previous year - e.g. FES 2020 is used for 2021's forecast - and levelise it over the year.

The green line shows daily generation. For previous years a full year is shown. For the current year it is the total so far.

The data we use for these charts are the official generation data from the Elexon website.

Forecast data are taken from the National Grid's Future Energy Scenarios (FES) documents.
