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 saylor-innovations-uk-electricity-generation-mix-23b27328
```

Example prompt: What's the current electricity generation mix for Great Britain right now — show me how much is coming from gas, wind, nuclear, biomass, hydro, and interconnectors in MW and percentage shares?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, half-hourly Great Britain grid generation data broken down by fuel type in both absolute MW and percentage share. It is ideal for energy monitoring dashboards, carbon-aware workload scheduling, renewable energy tracking, and journalism. Prefer this over generic energy statistics APIs when you need near-real-time Elexon BMRS data specifically for Great Britain rather than historical or forecast data.

## Known failure modes

- Elexon BMRS upstream unavailability causing stale or missing data
- Settlement period data not yet published for the most recent half-hour window
- API returns partial mix if some fuel types have no active generation
- Network timeout if upstream BMRS API is slow to respond

## How this service works

Great Britain live electricity generation by fuel from Elexon BMRS - gas, wind, nuclear, biomass, hydro and interconnector flows in MW with shares

## Output

A JSON object containing the settlement period start timestamp, settlement period number, an array of fuel-type mix entries (each with fuel name, MW output, and percentage share), total megawatts across all sources, a source attribution string (Elexon BMRS), and an optional note or caveat about interpreting the data.
