The leading resource for 24/7 electricity CO2 data
We provide actionable data quantifying how carbon intensive electricity is on an hourly basis across 50+ countries. The data can be accessed historically, in real time, or as a forecast for the next 24 hours. You can also explore the real time data on the Electricity Maps app.

Reduce your climate impact
Google uses Electricity Maps' forecast data to shift the timing of compute tasks running on their hyperscale data centers to times when low-carbon power sources, like wind and solar, are most plentiful.
In the future they plan to load shift not only based on time, but also based on location in order to maximize the reduction in carbon emissions.

Carbon intensity
Get access to the carbon intensity (in gCO2eq/kWH) of electricity consumed in the region taking into account the full life-cycle of electricity production.
Hourly granularity
We collect data from all around the world and compute the data in an hourly resolution, allowing you to gain granular insights accounting for the variance of the grid.
Power breakdowns
Get access to the production and consumption breakdowns to understand the full flow and production of the origin of electricity.
Flow-tracing
By using our flow-tracing methodology, we trace back the origin of electricity accounting for imports and exports. Read more.

Access the data through the API
Integrate directly with the Electricity Maps API
Connect your product or service directly to our API to retrieve all relevant electricity data from your regions. Our entire database, including real-time, historical, forecasts as well as marginal data is all available through different endpoints in our API.
The API is simple to use and has been integrated in numerous products and services.
See API documentationGet tailored preprocessed historical data files
Only interested in historical data? In that case we can supply you with pre-processed sections of historical data for regions of your choosing. The files can be made available in CSV and Excel formats and contain all the data required for your use case.
