How we write the news

GBNRG tells British households what is changing in energy, using only what several reliable reports agree on.

How a story is made

Every few hours GBNRG reads the latest energy news from 11 publishers. An AI editor groups reports of the same event and judges how much it matters to a household's bills and home. A story is written only when at least two different publishers report the event, or an official source such as the government publishes it.

The story is then written fresh by AI from the full text of those reports, in plain English, without copying their sentences. A second, separate AI checks every number, date and name in the draft against the reports; anything it cannot find there is corrected or the story is not published. Where reports disagree, the story says so.

Every story lists and links the reports it was built from. They are the authority; GBNRG is a plain-English summary. Nothing here is financial or legal advice.

Where the news comes from

BBC News, Carbon Brief, Current±, Energy Live News, Energy Saving Trust, GOV.UK (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero), Sky News, The Guardian, This is Money, Which?, edie. The price cap figures come from Ofgem's own page and are only shown when every figure matches it. The live electricity figures come from National Grid ESO's Carbon Intensity service.
