I have a PodPoint charger which doesn’t have many bells and whistles, not very smart and isn’t compatible with Charge Anytime…. However the app now has a great new lookup function which gives the CO2 forecast for Today and Tomorrow for my region. Previously I’ve only found apps that give a figure for (I assume) the whole country or just a snapshot of the regions.

Interesting @juliamc. The forecast I believe is based on a regional generation mix as this will determine your more local level.

Most of our mix in the South East is from imports, according to the national grid app, so presumably French nuclear.

… the national grid app, ....

 

Does the rudimentary 24-hour animated regional forecast in that app not help a bit?

Ah, yes. Gives 24 hrs but doesn’t say it’s for ‘my’ region.

I’m using this one: Carbon Intensity. If you scroll down to Regional data, you see how well or badly each region is doing. At the top of that section, there’s a little ▶ to start a 24-hour animation for the forecast levels in each region:
