Electricity Maps + clariBI
Connect Electricity Maps with your token, choose the grid zones to track, and get hourly carbon-intensity readings sitting next to the energy use and emissions they drive.
Native Electricity Maps data-source connector.
Paste your Electricity Maps token, pick the grid zones to track, and clariBI syncs their hourly carbon-intensity readings into preprocessed datasets and auto-generated dashboards, right next to your other tools.
What is Electricity Maps?
Electricity Maps publishes the carbon intensity of electricity grids around the world, in grams of CO2 equivalent per kilowatt-hour, updated hourly by zone.
clariBI reads Electricity Maps through its v3 REST API using your own token: the recent hourly carbon-intensity history for each grid zone you choose, such as Germany (DE) or California (US-CAL-CISO). Access is read-only, and clariBI never changes anything in your account.

Connect Electricity Maps in three steps
Open Data Sources in clariBI
In clariBI, go to Data Sources → Add Data Source, find Electricity Maps, and paste your API token. The token is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
Choose zones and sync
Type the grid zone keys to track (for example DE for Germany, US-CAL-CISO for California). clariBI reads the hourly carbon-intensity history read-only.
Sync, then get dashboards
clariBI syncs the readings, preprocesses them, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "When was our grid cleanest this week?" and the AI engine queries the synced carbon intensity alongside your energy use.
What you can analyze
Out of the box with the Electricity Maps connector:
- Hourly carbon intensity per grid zone (gCO2eq/kWh)
- Carbon-intensity trend and daily pattern by zone
- Cleanest and dirtiest hours over the window
- Comparison across the zones you track
- Grid carbon lined up with your energy-use dates
- Cross-source: grid carbon intensity → energy use → Scope 2 emissions
Electricity Maps is one of many data sources you can connect to clariBI. See the full list →
What gets synced
clariBI pulls the recent hourly carbon-intensity history for the zones you select through the Electricity Maps v3 REST API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it on your schedule. Access is read-only.
For each selected zone, clariBI syncs the hourly carbon intensity in gCO2eq/kWh, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. It never changes anything in your Electricity Maps account.
Cross-source questions Electricity Maps makes possible
Electricity Maps data is most useful next to your other tools. clariBI's planner composes it with your CRM, billing, and product data through the same entity-join primitives that back every cross-source analysis.
Electricity Maps × Energy use
"How much cleaner would our load be if we shifted to off-peak hours?"
Planner: read hourly grid carbon intensity from Electricity Maps, align it to your energy use by hour, and estimate the emissions saved by moving load to lower-intensity windows.
Electricity Maps × Emissions
"What were our Scope 2 emissions per day last month?"
Planner: read the grid carbon intensity for our zone from Electricity Maps, multiply by daily energy consumption, and report the implied Scope 2 emissions by day.
Electricity Maps connector FAQ
What do I need to connect Electricity Maps?
An Electricity Maps API token from your account. You paste it into clariBI once; it is Fernet-encrypted at rest and sent as the auth-token header, and there is no OAuth popup or app to register.
Can clariBI change anything in Electricity Maps?
No. The connector only reads the recent carbon-intensity history for the zones you select. It never changes anything in your account.
Which clariBI plan includes the Electricity Maps connector?
Data-source connectors are available on the Trial, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise plans. You can connect Electricity Maps during the free 14-day trial.
