# clonecho.builda.company UK Grid Carbon Intensity

> clonecho.builda.company UK Grid Carbon Intensity is a paid API for AI agents from clonecho.builda.company, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns the live current carbon intensity of the UK electricity grid in gCO2/kWh as a JSON response.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability clonecho-builda-company-uk-grid-carbon-intensity-4065772b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current carbon intensity of the UK electricity grid right now in gCO2/kWh — I want to know if it's a good time to run our energy-intensive batch jobs from a carbon perspective.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the live, real-time carbon intensity of the UK (Great Britain) electricity grid for ESG reporting, energy-timing decisions, sustainability dashboards, or green computing scheduling. Prefer this over the sibling date-based half-hourly forecast endpoint when you only need the current instant value rather than historical or forecast time series.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Carbon Intensity API unavailable — service may return 502 or timeout
- Stale data if upstream feed is delayed — timestamp should be checked
- No parameters accepted so no parameter validation errors expected
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

UK grid carbon intensity (gCO2/kWh) — ESG / energy-timing signal. Live. Returns JSON.

## Output

A JSON object containing the current live carbon intensity of the Great Britain electricity grid, expressed in gCO2/kWh, along with associated metadata such as timestamp, intensity index (e.g. low/moderate/high), and potentially forecast and actual values.
