Electricity Maps

Electricity Maps brings together historical data, live grid signals, and forecasts in one

Visit Electricity Maps

Electricity Maps is a data platform that combines historical, real-time and forecast electricity grid data to support sustainability and power markets use cases. It covers signals such as carbon intensity, electricity mix, total and net load, interconnector flows, renewable and carbon-free percentages, and day-ahead market prices, delivered through an API and an interactive map.

The Enterprise API exposes these signals through time-based endpoints covering past, past-range, history, latest and forecast data, with query parameters for geolocation, datetime, temporal granularity and emission factor type. A Playground allows testing with a free token. The free interactive map lets users switch layers, toggle between production and consumption, and inspect zones at different granularities. Data is available at hourly granularity, with 15-minute or 5-minute resolution available on request, and historical coverage extending back to 2017.

Electricity Maps serves sustainability and energy professionals across energy trading, battery and storage, data centers and IT, utilities and industry, energy management, and carbon accounting. Signals are packaged per country and per year, individually or bundled by grid or sustainability category, with custom configurations for forecast and extended historical data. A 14-day API trial is available without payment information, and free access is offered for academics and Home Assistant users. Regional bundles and global coverage are available, with startup discounts for qualifying early-stage companies.
