Live carbon intensity and power sources of electricity grids worldwide
Electricity Maps shows, in real time, how much carbon is emitted to produce electricity in each country or grid zone, and which sources (coal, gas, wind, solar, nuclear, hydro) are running. Arrows show power flowing between zones.
Electricity Maps is especially useful for researchers & analysts, students and journalists.
