⚡ Elexon BMRS GB Generation Scraper
🚀 Export Great Britain's live power mix in seconds. Pull actual electricity generation per fuel type straight from the official Elexon BMRS Insights API, with no key and no login.
Turn the Elexon BMRS Insights feed into clean, structured records you can drop into a dashboard, a model, or a warehouse. Pick a UTC time window and get one row per fuel type per 30 minute settlement period, showing exactly how many megawatts each source put onto the GB grid.
Coverage is the GB transmission system actual generation outturn (dataset AGPT) as Elexon publishes it: biomass, fossil gas, coal and oil, nuclear, hydro, pumped storage, solar, and both onshore and offshore wind, each tagged with its business type and settlement period.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Energy analysts and traders | Track the GB fuel mix period by period |
| Grid and renewables researchers | Measure wind and solar contribution |
| Data scientists and modellers | Feed generation series into forecasts |
| Sustainability and ESG teams | Report on low carbon generation share |
📋 What the Elexon BMRS GB Generation Scraper does
This Actor calls the public Elexon BMRS Insights API and flattens the nested response into one clean record per fuel type per settlement period:
- Fuel breakdown — psrType such as Wind Offshore, Wind Onshore, Solar, Nuclear, Biomass, Fossil Gas, and more.
- Output level — quantity in megawatts for each fuel in each 30 minute period.
- Time context — settlement period number and the UTC start time of that period.
- Category — the business type Elexon assigns, like Production, Wind generation, or Solar generation.
You choose the UTC time window and how many records come back, and every record carries a scrapedAt timestamp.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: businessType, psrType, quantityMw, scrapedAt, settlementPeriod, startTime. All 6 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
