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 11 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Carbon Intensity API, Forecast API, Health API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Energy, Carbon Intensity, Electricity, Grid, and Sustainability.
The Electricity Maps catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Electricity Maps’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, engineering blog, GitHub presence, and 10 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy and Utilities | standard | 34.5 (thin) | - | - |
| LF Energy Landscape (open-source grid, utilities, EV and DER) | standard | 34.5 (thin) | - | - |
| LF Energy Projects and Members (grid, DER, EV charging open source) | standard | 34.5 (thin) | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 1
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
