ELECTRICITY MAPS PRODUCTS

Our Product

Get a quick overview of all Electricity Maps’ product features.

Data Properties

Carbon Intensity

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.

Power breakdown

Get insights into the production and consumption breakdown of electricity by power source (e.g. gas, solar).

Hourly granularity

We deliver data at an hourly resolution, to reflect the variation in grid emissions throughout the day.

Flow-tracing

Using our peer-reviewed flow-tracing methodology, we accurately trace back the true origin of electricity by accounting for imports and exports.

Historical Data

See the grid’s past

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.

Frequent updates

We continuously validate and update our historical data to make sure you have the most accurate and up-to-date data available.

Estimations for any missing hours

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.

Real-time Data

The real-time grid

Get access to the real-time carbon intensity and power breakdown to engage your users, and take better informed decisions. Our real-time data platform continuously processes the most up-to-date data from our sources. Our internal estimation models further ensure completeness of our real-time data, even if some of our data sources are unavailable.

All our real-time sources provide electricity data at a subhourly frequency with less than 2 hours of delay.

Live visualization

Our open-source app visualizes grid data from across the world in real time. Check it out.

Forecasts

Optimize your electricity consumption

Our forecasts can be used to make carbon-informed decisions—both for your company and your end-users.

Machine learning

Our forecasts use machine learning algorithms trained on a wide array of data, such as production, price, and weather data.

24-hour ahead forecasts

Get access to forecasted carbon intensity and power breakdowns 24 hours in the future.

Frequently verified and updated forecasts

All our models are monitored and frequently retrained to reflect changes in the grid.
