Find out current usage of national energy grids, to find out their 'green' factor:

I would like to know this, since I am interested in finding out what I can do to make my energy '[always green](https://www.greenchoice.nl/altijd-groen/)'. Current contracts offset the production on a years average, which means at some point in time (no sun, no wind) I still receive 'grey energy'. I like to know how I (as consumer) can made a difference.

Looks like the U.K. national grid provides a API:
