## Description

Explore real-time and historical electricity data worldwide with Electricity Maps. Track generation mix, CO2 emissions (carbon intensity), market prices, and renewable production across regions. Interactive maps and time-series visualizations help you see when grids are cleaner, how renewable penetration changes, and where emissions or price spikes occur.

Ideal for researchers, grid operators, sustainability teams, journalists, and policy makers, Electricity Maps makes it easy to visualize and compare regions, monitor trends, and inform data-driven decisions. Access historical records to analyze changes over time and use insights to plan operations, reporting, or research.

## Review summary

Overall the app is praised for its broad data coverage and educational value, with updates improving usability. Users highlight its usefulness for understanding energy production and for making greener EV charging choices. The most recurring concerns are data reliability and regional accuracy (India map inaccuracies, UK solar percentage, Spain outage not reflected), plus some UI gaps (production view removal, zoom/center bugs). There are multiple requests for more display options, totals, and graphs to show production, consumption, and imports/exports. Despite some reliability and UX issues, the app remains a strong, globally focused energy data resource.

### Pros

- Extensive live and historical energy data from many countries around the world.
- Educational tool that helps users understand how electricity is generated and its emissions impact.
- Useful for planning EV charging and choosing greener charging times.
- Strong features and usability, with meaningful updates that improve the app.
- Broad global scope provides a global perspective and complements other energy apps.

### Cons

- Data accuracy and reliability concerns across regions (e.g., India map inaccuracies, UK solar percentage, and Spain outage not reflected).
- UI/UX gaps such as removal of the production view and inconsistent zoom/center behavior.
- Requests for more display options and totals, including production, consumption, imports, and exports graphs.
