electricity maps provides real time carbon intensity data for electricity grids, enabling users to automate sustainability focused actions integrating it with make com allows users to optimize energy use and trigger workflows based on grid cleanliness for greener operations this is ai generated content based on official electricity maps documentation the content may still contain errors—please verify important information if you have questions, contact https //www make com/en/integrations/electricity maps community/electricity maps community directly how to get support on electricity maps electricity maps is a community developed application and is subjected to the developer's terms and conditions, which may include applicable fees make does not maintain or support this integration for assistance, please https //f make com/r/reachout?app name=electricity%20maps\&app slug=electricity maps community\&app unique id=electricitymaps u623rx requirements to use the electricity maps app in make, you must have an electricity maps account a bpt app license key and an electricity maps api key, https //www make com/en/integrations/electricity maps community app installation to install this app, you need admin, owner, or app developer permissions docid foycaspyp9uykgm7lqpb go to the https //www make com/en/integrations/ click the install button follow the on screen instructions to complete the setup connect electricity maps and {{product name}} to get started, you must first create a connection between electricity maps and {{product name}} , allowing the two services to communicate you can connect using the following method api key api key instructions you need to retrieve both your bpt app license key and your electricity maps api key log in to your electricity maps account in the left hand menu, click on the api icon locate your electricity maps api key linked to your account retrieve your bpt app license key as described on the license activation page some community developers require an additional specific api key retrieve the required api key from the community developer's dashboard, generally found under settings/api for more info, please https //f make com/r/reachout?app name=electricity%20maps\&app slug=electricity maps community\&app unique id=electricitymaps u623rx create the connection in {{product name}} https //www make com/en/register , add the electricity maps module to your {{scenario singular lowercase}} , and click create a connection if you add a module with an instant tag, click create a webhook , then create a connection optional in the connection name field, enter a name for the connection enter the authentication credentials you copied from your electricity maps or follow the on screen instructions to create the connection you must also enter any required third party api keys obtained earlier for detailed information on connecting an application, see docid\ so88fm6pkt0g adkddfzz page electricity maps modules after connecting to the electricity maps app, you can choose from a list of available modules to build your {{scenario plural lowercase}} get forecasted carbon intensity provides you with the predicted carbon intensity (measured in grams of co2 equivalent per kilowatt hour) for a specific area, based on either a zone id or a geographic location get forecasted power breakdown retrieves the most recent breakdown of electricity generation sources—such as wind, solar, or nuclear—for a chosen area, showing how much each type contributes to the overall electricity mix get live carbon intesity retrieves the most recent carbon intensity value (measured in grams of co2 equivalent per kilowatt hour) for electricity usage in a chosen region, helping you monitor the environmental impact of energy consumption in that area get live power breakdown retrieves the most up to date information on where your electricity comes from, showing the share of each production type (like solar, wind, or fossil fuels) in the current energy mix get past carbon intensity history retrieves historical data on carbon intensity (measured in gco2eq/kwh) for a specific area, either by using a zone id or geographic coordinates this helps you understand how much carbon was emitted per unit of electricity in that location over a given period get past carbon intensity history range this module retrieves historical carbon intensity data, measured in grams of co2 equivalent per kilowatt hour (gco2eq/kwh), for a specific area you can get this information by providing either a zone id or a geographic location, helping you understand past carbon emissions for that region get past marginal carbon intensity history this module retrieves historical data on marginal carbon intensity (measured in grams of co2 equivalent per kilowatt hour) for a specific zone or geographic location the data is provided in 60 minute intervals and typically reflects information from 1 to 2 months prior get past marginal carbon intensity history range this module retrieves historical data on marginal carbon intensity (measured in grams of co2 equivalent per kilowatt hour) for a specific zone or geographic location the data is provided in 60 minute intervals and reflects information from 1 to 2 months ago get past power breakdown history retrieves detailed historical data on power generation, showing how much electricity was produced by each type of source (like solar, wind, or coal) for a specific zone or location get past power breakdown history range retrieves detailed historical data on electricity generation by each production type (such as solar, wind, or fossil fuels) for a specific area, identified either by its zone id or geographic location get recent carbon intensity retrieves detailed carbon intensity data (measured in grams of co2 equivalent per kilowatt hour) for the past 24 hours, based on either a specific zone id or a chosen geographic location get recent power breakdown retrieves detailed information about the types of energy produced in a specific area over the past 24 hours, showing the contribution of each production type (such as solar, wind, or fossil fuels) based on either a zone id or a geographic location make an api call send a custom api request to connect with an external service, allowing you to specify the method, endpoint, headers, and data according to your needs templates you can look for more templates in https //www make com/en/templates , where you'll find thousands of pre created {{scenario plural lowercase}} electricity maps
