| Plans | Every plan, including Free. Asking questions in plain English needs the trial or Starter and above. |
About 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.

What clariBI syncs
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 once it is more than a day old. 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.
What you can chart
- 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
How to connect Electricity Maps
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 stored encrypted.
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 clariBI reads the synced carbon intensity alongside your energy use.
Questions you can ask
Asking in plain English uses AI credits, so it needs the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan. Totals and trends are computed from the synced rows; the AI plans the question, picks the chart and writes the explanation.
- "How much cleaner would our load be if we shifted to off-peak hours?"
- "What were our Scope 2 emissions per day last month?"
About the Electricity Maps connector
What do I need to connect Electricity Maps?
An Electricity Maps API token from your account. You paste it into clariBI once; it is stored encrypted 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 plans include Electricity Maps?
Every plan can connect Electricity Maps, within its data source limit: 3 on Free, 5 on Lite, 10 on Starter, 50 on Professional and 100 on Enterprise. Each source gets an automatic dashboard on every plan. Asking questions in plain English, AI reports and adding endpoints from the Electricity Maps catalog need the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan.
Try Electricity Maps in clariBI
The trial lasts 14 days, includes 50 AI credits and needs no card. When it ends, your account moves to the Free plan and keeps its data and dashboards.
