New countries are popping up every day on @electricitymaps.com, as we've developed new models that extrapolate monthly and yearly data into hourly data, using load data, real-time weather data and much more.
Is there a country you'd like to see on our platform soon? Let us know!
Check out our 72h view 🗺️! Perfect for tracking Europe's wind recovery.
While a dunkelflaute is rare, the data shows how quickly renewables bounce back. Here's how the German grid transformed:
Wind: 66.82% of demand
Carbon: 592→227 g/kWh
Price: €936→€13.96/MWh
Exports: 11.36GW
Hydro Storage: 2.78GW
Electricity Maps is nine years old today! 🎂
Thank you to all our customers, partners, and community for all you do to help push data-driven decarbonization forward. ⚡️
Here's @corradio.bsky.social's first commit, from May 21, 2016: github.com/electricitym...
@electricitymaps.com now shows 72hrs of data in the app. Very interesting to see how renewables eat away coal and gas in e.g. Texas.
A major dunkelflaute hit Europe at 5pm yesterday: wind & solar generation dropped while energy prices hit €936/MWh in Denmark/Germany. A reminder of the need for load shifting, diverse energy sources and storage solutions for the winter months.

I'm please to announce that i published the now famous scatter graph : Comparison between the electricity generation and CO2 intensity per countries in Europe.

One of the coolest climate OSS projects, love the visualization. How green is your grid rn? ⚡️⚡️⚡️
New Historical Navigation feature in the app! 🎉

New real-time data for ERCOT!

Indisputably, the marginal signal holds the theoretical power to represent emissions physically caused when more electricity is requested. However, this concept does not translate well to the reality ...
Milestone in Texas: At 12:00pm on the 24th of November ERCOT's grid hit 73.85% renewable power (45.23% wind + 28.62% solar), driving carbon intensity down to 127 gCO2eq/kWh!
