**"Electricity maps" API: ** https://portal.electricitymaps.com/dashboard https://portal.electricitymaps.com/docs/getting-started#geolocation Free Tier. For the free plan, the following endpoints are available: /v3/carbon-intensity/latest:

• Latest Carbon Intensity. This endpoint retrieves the last known carbon intensity (in gCO2eq/kWh) of electricity consumed in an area. v3/carbon-intensity/latest --- we can use this one to automatically link it to the tool, and show either green or red.

----- Available but not for free.

• Forescast Carbon Intensity. This endpoint retrieves the forecasted carbon intensity (in gCO2eq/kWh) of an area. It can either be queried by zone identifier or by geolocation. By default, this endpoint returns 24 hours of forecasts. v3/carbon-intensity/forecast
• Forecasted Day-Ahead Price. This endpoint retrieves the forecasted market day-ahead prices (in EUR/MWh) of an area. v3/price-day-ahead/forecast

Learnings

demand shifting demand shaping

Price fluctuations for energy (spot pricing) are very correlated to how much of the grid is currently run on renewables 50gco2/kwh as threshold for HIGH threshold

First Sprint

• integrate live data carbon intensity into MiniBTreeStore
• get familiar with MiniBTreeStore

The team has started a spreadsheet to understand the scope of work, from an initially high-level of project implementation phases.
