The values are calculated using state-of-the-art machine learning and power system modelling techniques, incorporating emissions from large metered power stations, interconnector imports, transmission and distribution losses, and embedded wind and solar generation.</p><p>Data is available at the <a href="/explore/dataset/boundaries-gb-dno-licence-areas/information/" target="_blank">Distribution Network Operator (DNO) regions</a>. Please note, these regions do not align with the standard UK regions.</p> <p>The <b>Intensity Index</b> applied depends on the <b>Intensity Forecast </b>which is measured in gCO<sub>2</sub>/kWh and varies from year to year.
