Electricity Maps

This Enapter Device Blueprint integrates Electricity Maps API — a platform that provides real-time and historical carbon intensity data for electricity grids around the world. The data helps assess the carbon emissions associated with electricity generation in different regions to understand your energy system's carbon footprint and optimize load usage.

This blueprint provides the following data for a selected location (latitude, longitude):

• Carbon intensity (gCO2eq/kWh)
• Total power production (MW)
• Total power consumption (MW)
• Fossil free energy percentage
• Renewable energy percentage
