Electricity Maps

Electricity Maps tracks the carbon intensity and electricity mix of power grids around the world. Their commercial API delivers real-time, historical, and forecasted signals for carbon intensity, power source breakdown, renewable and carbon-free percentages, electricity flows, grid load, and day-ahead pricing across hundreds of geographic zones, enabling data centers, software platforms, and sustainability teams to make emissions-aware decisions.

Electricity Maps publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including CarbonIntensity API, ElectricityMix API, GridMetrics API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Energy, Electricity, Carbon Intensity, Sustainability, and Climate.

Electricity Maps’ developer surface includes authentication, pricing, documentation, engineering blog, GitHub presence, and 5 more developer resources.
