How can data centers and IT infrastructure help *balance* the grid while reducing carbon emissions and costs? We have some ideas.

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...

Our 2024 datasets are here! 📂🌎 As part of our ongoing commitment to decarbonizing the electricity grid, we released our free historical datasets — enabling companies around the globe to adopt more granular carbon accounting practices. Get the datasets: portal.electricitymaps.com/datasets?utm...

🌎 We’re moving fast toward global coverage: Electricity Maps has recently added over 110 new countries to the platform. With greater coverage, we are equipping key drivers of change to reduce emissions and advance sustainability efforts — no matter where they operate. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/3CgKtIr

Our 72-hour grid forecasts are here!⚡️ Further optimize electricity usage with extended carbon intensity, renewable share, and power mix forecasts across 100+ zones — for greater emissions reduction and cost savings. Learn how you can benefit from 72-hour forecasts: bit.ly/4gSYcUP

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

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. #EnergyMarkets #Renewables #Dunkelflaute #Germany
