From power markets to reality: Does the marginal power plant really exist? - Electricity Maps 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 ...

This is a picture of a cake that has a relatively current image of the world map of the electrical grid available at electricitymaps.com, with colors indicating the carbon emissions of each grid region. There are 9 candles on the cake, and the words "9 years of Electricity Maps"

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...

Thoughts and prayers 🙏

let us know if you need any help from @electricitymaps.com

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.

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!

@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.

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.

New Historical Navigation feature in the app! 🎉

Explore hourly electricity data from the past month. Revisit milestones like Texas' renewable energy achievement at 12:00 PM on November 24th.

Why marginal emission factors are unsuitable for scope 2 accounting A number of stakeholders are promoting a shift in global Scope 2 carbon accounting rules towards a system based on marginal emission factors. Learn why “impact accounting” isn’t compatible with Scope ...

Are you thinking about using marginal emissions factors for scope 2 accounting?
In this new blog post, I break down the “impact accounting” approach and the issues that arise when using it with corporate emissions reporting.
