Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗

Steps

  1. Use the generation/actual/per-type dataset endpoint for fuel-type generation mix by settlement period
  2. Use the generation/actual/per-type/wind-and-solar endpoint for embedded wind and solar output
  3. Paginate or loop across settlement periods and dates to build a continuous generation time series
  4. Combine with the demand/outturn dataset to reconstruct a full generation-versus-demand balance
  5. Cross-check totals against National Grid ESO source attribution noted in the dataset metadata
