# UK Electricity Generation Mix by Fuel Type

> UK Electricity Generation Mix by Fuel Type is a paid API for AI agents from proxy.suverse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.07/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns the current GB electricity generation mix as percentage breakdowns by fuel type (gas, nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, biomass, coal, imports) via the National Grid ESO Carbon Intensity API — no API key required.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://proxy.suverse.io/v1/data/suverse-energy-uk-generation-mix
- Price: $0.07/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

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 uk-electricity-generation-mix-by-fuel-type-97857a96 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current electricity generation mix in Great Britain right now — I want to see the breakdown by fuel type like wind, solar, gas, and nuclear as percentages.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a no-auth, keyless, real-time snapshot of the GB electricity generation mix by fuel type. Prefer it over direct National Grid ESO API calls when you want a pay-per-call model without managing API credentials. Ideal for agents that need occasional grid snapshots without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- National Grid ESO upstream API unavailability causing stale or missing data
- Payment failure or x402 protocol error if USDC not available
- Empty or malformed body returns schema validation error
- Temporary degradation if upstream Carbon Intensity API rate-limits or times out

## How this service works

Current GB electricity generation mix by fuel percentage: gas, nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, biomass, coal, imports. Keyless UK Carbon Intensity API (National Grid ESO). For agents tracking the grid.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the current GB electricity generation mix with each fuel type (gas, nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, biomass, coal, imports) expressed as a percentage of total generation, sourced in real time from the National Grid ESO Carbon Intensity API.
