GridIQ turns live GB carbon-intensity data into a scheduling decision. Give it a job's duration and deadline — it finds the lowest-carbon window across all 14 grid regions. Same energy, lower emissions.

GB grid right now: loading live carbon intensity…
Why timing matters
The same job can emit several times more carbon depending on when and where it runs
Carbon intensity — grams of CO₂ per kWh of electricity — swings hour by hour and region by region as the GB generation mix shifts between wind, solar, nuclear and gas. A batch job that runs at the wrong time in the wrong region can carry a very different footprint from the identical job run a few hours later. GridIQ finds that better window for you.
◉
See it live
A real-time, colour-coded map of carbon intensity across all 14 GB grid regions, with 48-hour forecasts and 2+ years of history.
⧖
Get a decision, not a dashboard
Tell GridIQ a job's duration, deadline and location. It recommends the greenest slot — one-off or recurring — and flags if a cleaner window opens later.
▦
Optimise the whole schedule
Import your batch schedule straight from Control-M, AutoSys or IBM Workload Scheduler — or a simple CSV — and GridIQ optimises every job in one pass.
Live map
Visualise the grid, region by region
GridIQ maps live carbon intensity across Great Britain, colour-coded by region, so you can see at a glance where — and when — electricity is cleanest. Search any location or pick from a built-in library of UK data-centre sites.
Live + 48-hour forecast for all 14 GB regions
Historic data for siting and capacity decisions
Email alerts when intensity crosses your thresholds
Workload scheduler
From carbon data to a scheduling decision
Pulling a carbon-intensity number is the easy 20%. GridIQ does the other 80%: it takes your job's duration, deadline and location, finds the lowest-carbon window in the next 48 hours, and lets you schedule it — one-off or recurring.
Forecasts shift. GridIQ keeps watching, and if a cleaner slot opens up before your job runs, it tells you — you decide whether to move.
One-off and recurring jobs

You stay in control — GridIQ tells you when, you trigger the run
Enterprise batch reporting
Bring your whole scheduler, not one job at a time
Export your schedule from BMC Control-M, Broadcom AutoSys or IBM Workload Scheduler and upload it as-is — GridIQ auto-detects the format, maps your hosts to their datacentre or UK cloud-region locations, and analyses hundreds of jobs in one pass.
Recommendations are reschedule-first: the greenest slot at the location each job already runs in, because shifting a start time is an ops decision, not an infrastructure project. Relocation options are there when you want them.

For engineers
Built on real grid data, not a black box
GridIQ is built for the people who actually run the workloads — batch, ML training, ETL, fleet charging. Here's what's under the hood.
National Grid ESO data
Live and forecast carbon intensity from the official GB grid operator's API — refreshed every 30 minutes.
14 GB regions
Regional resolution, because the generation mix in Scotland and the South East are very different animals.
48-hour forecasts
Enough horizon to schedule tonight's training run or tomorrow's ETL window with confidence.
2+ years of history
Model where a new data centre, office or workload should sit before you commit to it.
Enterprise scheduler import
Control-M job reports, AutoSys autorep output and IWS plan extracts parsed natively — with host-to-location mapping built in.
Orgs, roles & alerts
Multi-site organisations, role-based access and threshold email alerts out of the box.
On the roadmap: automated execution hooks (Kubernetes, Airflow, Slurm), multi-cloud region mapping beyond GB, and ESG/compliance exports. Today, GridIQ tells you when — you trigger the run.

Impact
Make your sustainability effort measurable
Every scheduled job is tracked: CO₂ avoided versus the worst-case window, energy shifted, and progress against your organisation's monthly target. Measured operational abatement — not an estimate — that your sustainability team can use in net-zero and ESG reporting (SECR, TCFD/ISSB, CSRD where applicable).

Ready to see your organisation's number?
We run a 6-week pilot against your real job list: agreed success metric, measured CO₂ result your sustainability team can report against. No procurement marathon to find out if it's worth it.
