OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY

Mapping global electricity
emissions together

Since 2016, Electricity Maps' open-source visualization has been used by millions of people, from students to world leaders, to understand the climate impact of global electricity use.

Backed by the community

We’ve been working with our open-source community of 1.000+ contributors from 80+ countries since the start, and our work is far from done. Together with our contributors, we’re making new improvements to the Electricity Maps app and data every week.
