How the total is built
Each unavailability is read at its latest revision. Only active production-unavailability events whose window covers the moment are counted, split into planned and unplanned.
Read the outlook as notified
The outlook counts each event in every hour its window covers. Planned work is notified well ahead; unplanned outages appear when a generator reports them, so the later hours understate what will eventually be out.

Questions
Where do these figures come from?
REMIT messages that generators publish through Elexon. They are as notified, not a measured output.
Does this include interconnectors or demand?
No. It counts production unavailability only.
Why can the later hours of the outlook look low?
Unplanned outages are counted only once a generator notifies them, so the outlook understates what will eventually be out.
