The EnergieTakt Karte analyzes public data about the European electricity grid and shows visualizations of GHG emission intensity and the origin of electricity in European countries.
Follow this short tour to learn about the features of the EnergieTakt Karte.
The central element of the dashboard is the map of Europe. Hover over the regions or arrows to see the estimated GHG emission intensities and international electricity flows.
By clicking on a region, you can select it. At the top right, you can see the hourly local GHG emission intensity in the selected region for the last three days.
Below, you can find the hourly local electricity production. Hover over the chart to view the legend and the numerical values.
You can also change the time displayed on the map of Europe using the time slider.
Use the 🔄 button to reset to the most recent time, or jump one day backward or forward using ◀️/▶️.
Below the time slider, you find the settings menu.
Under 'Time span' you find three quick buttons which allow you to switch between the last 3, 7, or 14 days. Or click on the date field to open the calendar and select a custom time span - the dashboard offers data back to 2016.
Under 'Display mode' you can choose whether international electricity flows are taken into account (= consumption-based) or not (= production-based).
Additionally, the third display mode offers you a visualization of the proportional origin of electricity consumed in the selected region.
Hover over the regions to see more information.
You can also switch the flow tracing scheme. The schemes differ in how local generation and international flows are taken into account in the calculation. More information can be found in our blog entry Methodology.
Use the dropdown below the date field to switch from hourly data to aggregated data on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis.
The aggregated view is particularly useful for examining seasonal fluctuations and long-term developments.
You can revisit the tour at any time using the 'About' link.
