National Grid ESO vs Website Carbon

This is Great Britain's electricity system operator's open-data portal, publishing generation mix, demand forecasts, and grid balancing datasets. The operator was transferred to public ownership and rebranded the National Energy System Operator (NESO) on 1 October 2024; the old data.nationalgrideso.com host no longer resolves at all, with the same CKAN data portal now living at neso.energy/data-portal. Its real CKAN gateway at api.neso.energy returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * on every response, resolving cors unknown -> yes.

Website Carbon estimates the CO2 emitted by loading a web page, based on page weight and whether the host uses green hosting, returning a digital carbon rating alongside the raw gCO2e figure. As of 14 July 2025 the provider retired public access to its convenience /site endpoint (which fetched a URL for you); the /data endpoint, which takes bytes and a green-hosting flag directly, remains free and open with no key.
