Electricity Maps

Electricity Maps provides electricity grid data - carbon intensity and power production/consumption breakdown - for 200+ zones worldwide, in real time, as historical series, and as 24-72 hour forecasts. The REST API serves the same data behind the live electricity map at app.electricitymap.org, authenticated with an auth-token header.

Electricity Maps publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Carbon Intensity API, Forecast API, Health API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Energy, Carbon Intensity, Electricity, Grid, and Sustainability.

Electricity Maps’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 8 more developer resources.
