Can you please change the colours to represent each country's share of renewables and not the communication of nuclear fans with CO2? 🤢

We focus on CO2 emissions without taking a stance on which power production mode is best. The decision to produce power using a given technology must include considerations in addition to carbon intensity, such as cost and other environmental externalities (extraction of rare metals, nuclear waste, fine particles, biodiversity, etc…)

Iceland must be disqualified for doping ;)

Sorry, but if you rank the countries, you have to use the same emission factors for everyone. Your current representation is methodologically flawed and misleading.

I like checking Electricity maps every once in a while. But I see the battery storage data is missing (at least for the european countries I checked). Is it possible to have that information? It's going to be important soon...

Thanks for your feedback - we do show battery storage for some zones (like South Australia), but ENTSO-E platform does not have generation sources below 100MW. As far as we are aware, no existing installation in Europe surpasses this (yet!).
