ELECTRICITY MAPS API Platform
Get an overview of Electricity Maps’ product features — all accessible through a single global-coverage API.
Understand your emissions with Electricity Maps’ historical power mix and carbon data from 2015 onwards. Our data can be accessed at granularities ranging from hourly to yearly.
Electricity Maps' platform continuously fetches and processes global electricity data to enable carbon-aware decision-making. We provide complete power breakdown and carbon data in real-time.
Electricity Maps’ forecasts empower companies and end-users to optimize electricity usage, reducing emissions and costs. Our models generate 24h ahead power breakdown and carbon intensity forecasts.
Get access to the carbon intensity (in gCO2eq/kWH) of electricity consumed in a specific region, which takes into account the life-cycle emissions of electricity production.
Get insights into the production and consumption breakdown of electricity by power source (e.g. gas, solar).
We deliver data at an hourly resolution, to reflect the variation in grid emissions throughout the day.
Using our peer-reviewed flow-tracing methodology, we accurately trace back the true origin of electricity by accounting for imports and exports.
Our forecasts can be used to make carbon-informed decisions — both for your company and your end-users.
Get highly accurate forecasts using machine learning algorithms trained on a wide array of data, such as production, price, and weather data.
Get access to forecasted carbon intensity and power breakdowns 24 hours in the future.
All our models are monitored and frequently retrained to reflect changes in the grid.
Get access to the real-time carbon intensity and power breakdown to engage your users and make better informed decisions. Our real-time data platform continuously processes the most up-to-date data from our sources. All our real-time sources provide electricity data at a subhourly frequency with less than 2 hours of delay.
Our internal estimation models further ensure completeness of our real-time data, even if some of our data sources are unavailable.
Our open-source app visualizes grid data from across the world in real time. Check it out.
Get access to a comprehensive database of carbon intensity and power breakdown data going back up to 5 years depending on the region. Electricity Maps provides historical data at granularities ranging from hourly to yearly depending on your needs.
We continuously validate and update our historical data to make sure you have the most accurate and up-to-date data available.
We continuously run our estimation pipeline to identify gaps and compute estimates for any missing hours. This way you can trust that we always have a value for all hours.
