It is with great pleasure that we're today announcing that we've raised €5M to scale our mission of enabling a data-driven decarbonization of electricity 🎉 Thank you for everyone who supported us and scrutinized us since the early stages of the journey 🙌

@martincollignon @ElectricityMaps I don't update my chrome, just like I never reboot my Mac

@corradio @ElectricityMaps update your chrome!

Latest from the @ElectricityMaps blog: does the marginal power plant really exist? Read more below 👇 electricitymaps.com/content/from-p…

In April, 10% of monthly global electricity came from solar for the first time🌞

🚨 Grid alert - Major power outage in Spain and Portugal (Spanish version below) The Iberian network was automatically disconnected from the European grid at 12:38 PM CET, leaving millions without power. This major power blackout hit Spain and Portugal, also affecting Andorra and some parts of France close to the border. The Spanish TSO, Red Eléctrica (REE), expects to restore the supply in the next 6 to 10 hours. The causes of this major outage are still to be determined. We are closely reporting the data shared by ENTSO-E and monitoring all updates coming from the Spanish TSO (REE), the French TSO Réseau de Transport d'Électricité (RTE) and other governmental sources to keep all users informed. Spanish authorities have temporarily stopped all nuclear power supply due to safety reasons, as can be seen in the data visualization below. You can observe these and other related events in our app and see the effects on neighboring grids. Please note that there may be slight delays in the data. Note: ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity) is the central point for the collection and publication of data related to the generation, transportation, and consumption of electricity across Europe. --- 🚨 Alerta en el sistema eléctrico: Gran apagón en España y Portugal La red ibérica se desconectó automáticamente de la red eléctrica europea a las 12:38 PM CET, dejando a millones de personas sin suministro eléctrico. Este gran apagón afectó a España y Portugal, impactando también a Andorra y a algunas zonas fronterizas de Francia. Red Eléctrica de España (REE), el operador del sistema de transmisión español, prevé restablecer el suministro en un plazo de entre 6 y 10 horas. Las causas aún están por determinarse. Estamos siguiendo de cerca los datos compartidos por ENTSO-E y monitorizando todas las actualizaciones provenientes de REE, del operador francés RTE y de otras fuentes oficiales para mantener informados a todos los usuarios. Las autoridades españolas han detenido temporalmente la producción eléctrica de las centrales nucleares del país por motivos de seguridad, como puede observarse en la visualización de datos que mostramos a continuación. Puedes seguir este y otros eventos relacionados en nuestra aplicación, donde también podrás ver los efectos en las redes eléctricas vecinas. Ten en cuenta que podrían producirse pequeños retrasos en la actualización de los datos. Nota: ENTSO-E (Red Europea de Operadores de Sistemas de Transmisión de Electricidad) es el organismo central encargado de la recopilación y publicación de datos sobre generación, transporte y consumo de electricidad en toda Europa.

D'ailleurs, pas improbable qu'ElectricityMaps sous estime le rendement de ces CHPS, @corradio tu saurais nous dire ? En France on utilise 75% pour cette partie du gaz (37,5% d'une tac gaz , X2 pour la vapeur produite) 3/3

Explication #2 : En Allemagne, une partie du fossile produit de la chaleur (cogénération), rendant la comparaison des g/kWh avec la France incomplète, surtout en hiver. C’est plus complexe qu’il n’y paraît ! Le mix électrique ne dit pas tout. 1/3

India's solar generation is surging in 2025☀️ It's currently meeting almost 10% of total daily electricity generation... robbieandrew.github.io/india/

@JingqiJin @ElectricityMaps Depending on the situation, the marginal power plant can be on the same grid, or in a neighbouring grid. Identifying where it is located is what we mean by the quoted sentence.

@corradio @ElectricityMaps Can u explain that 'For all areas, we estimate where the marginal electricity comes from (is it local generation or imports from neighbours?)' from this article“Marginal signals explained (Part 2): Estimating the marginal carbon intensity of electricity with machine learning”🤔

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

My annual decarbonization presentation is here. 200 slides, covering everything from water levels in Lake Gatún to sulfur dioxide emissions to ESG fund flows to Chinese auto exports to artificial intelligence. Link in reply

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_s…

🌎 We’re moving fast toward global coverage: Electricity Maps has just 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: electricitymaps.com/news/global-co…

Let's make ai less carbon intensive 🌏

Great (and scary) visualization of 2024 daily temperatures compared to prior years by the BBC today. Evocative of the iconic Joy Division album cover from 1979: bbc.com/news/articles/…

@CatalystCoop @InfosReseaux @ENTSO_E @grid_status I meant 24h-72h forecast of the flows of electricity on these interconnectors.

@InfosReseaux @corradio @ENTSO_E Whew dunno. Do you mean forecasts for new interconnections? Like the interconnection queue? Or of energy to be transferred between different grid operators / balancing areas / utilities? In either case, @grid_status wouldn't be a bad place to check.

Does anyone know of publicly available short-term interconnector forecasts in the US, similarly to how @ENTSO_E publishes scheduled commercial exchanges?

@corradio @ElectricityMaps @FelixQvist Oh, the colored light bulb is a great idea!

Right now is *not* a good time to use electricity in Denmark (due to low wind). How do I know? Aside from checking @ElectricityMaps, I'm kept informed by my macOS status bar and by our office lightbulb (credit @FelixQvist).

Now that 2024 is over, we can start looking at trends in @ElectricityMaps. Two important observations for Germany: - didn't have any nuclear power production in 2024 - reduced its carbon intensity from 371 to 333g CO2e/kWh Play around with the data here: #carbon_chart" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE/all#ca…
