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.
