Real-Time Grid Carbon Intensity API Platform

P6/10March 28, 2026
WhatA developer-facing API and dashboard that provides real-time and forecasted carbon intensity, generation mix, and pricing data for electricity grids worldwide, enabling companies to shift compute and industrial loads to the cleanest and cheapest windows.
SignalThe popularity of simple grid visualization tools like the one shared shows strong demand for transparent, real-time electricity data, but existing tools are consumer-facing dashboards rather than programmable infrastructure that businesses can build on.
Why NowRenewables are now regularly hitting 50-90%+ penetration in major grids, creating massive intraday variability that makes load-shifting economically meaningful for the first time.
MarketData centers, cloud providers, and industrial energy buyers pay; TAM in the billions as flexible load grows. ElectricityMaps is the closest competitor but is expensive and Europe-focused; WattTime exists but lacks depth on pricing integration.
MoatProprietary historical dataset combining grid mix, carbon intensity, and wholesale pricing across dozens of markets creates compounding data advantage over time.
