## Description

Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence lets you stop guessing about how green your operations actually are. This Connector connects your AI agent directly to a global energy data stream, turning it into a specialized energy analyst. Instead of hunting through various regional energy reports or trying to estimate carbon footprints based on outdated averages, you can just ask your agent for the current situation in any specific zone. It pulls the live carbon intensity and shows you the breakdown of what's powering the grid, whether that's nuclear, wind, solar, or coal. If you're trying to figure out the best time to run a heavy compute job to minimize your footprint, or if you're auditing a global supply chain for its carbon impact, this is how you get the facts. It's a core part of the Vinkius catalog designed for people who need to move past greenwashing and into real-time carbon auditing. You get specific numbers for over 100 countries, making it easy to compare different regions instantly. You can see exactly how much CO2 is being produced per kilowatt-hour right now. This makes it a reliable source for any sustainability report or operational planning. By integrating this into your workflow, you move from theoretical goals to actual, verifiable data points.

## Tools

### get_carbon_intensity
Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence lets you get the current carbon intensity for a specific country or region to see real-time emissions. This helps you identify the cleanest locations for your operations at any given moment.

### get_power_production_breakdown
Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence lets you fetch the current mix of energy sources like wind and solar for any given zone. You can see exactly how much of the grid is powered by renewables versus fossil fuels.

### list_energy_zones
Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence lets you see a full list of all available countries and regions supported by the service. This makes it easy to check the data availability for any location on the map.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What's the carbon intensity in Germany right now?
```

**Response:** 
```
Checking the current data for Germany (DE)...

**Current Carbon Intensity:** 245 gCO2eq/kWh

This is relatively moderate today. The grid is currently being powered by a mix of wind and coal. Would you like to see the full power production breakdown for Germany?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a breakdown of the energy mix in Spain.
```

**Response:** 
```
Retrieving the power production mix for Spain (ES)...

| Energy Source | Percentage |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Solar** | 32% |
| **Wind** | 24% |
| **Nuclear** | 18% |
| **Other** | 26% |

Spain is currently seeing a high percentage of renewable production.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which regions have the highest percentage of renewable energy today?
```

**Response:** 
```
Scanning the available energy zones for high renewable percentages...

Based on the current grid data, the following regions are showing high renewable production:

*   **Norway (NO)**: 94% renewable
*   **Iceland (IS)**: 92% renewable
*   **Costa Rica (CR)**: 88% renewable

Would you like the exact carbon intensity for any of these locations?
```

## Capabilities

### Get carbon intensity
Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence lets you get carbon intensity for a specific country or region.

### See power mix breakdown
Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence lets you see the exact power mix for a given grid.

### Identify energy zones
Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence lets you identify available energy zones globally.

### Compare carbon footprints
Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence lets you compare carbon footprints across different geographies.

### Monitor renewable percentages
Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence lets you monitor renewable energy percentages in real-time.

## Use Cases

### Moving a cloud cluster
A cloud engineer asks their agent to find the region with the lowest carbon intensity today. The agent uses get_carbon_intensity to compare three countries and recommends the greenest one.

### Corporate carbon audit
A sustainability lead needs to report on the carbon footprint of a factory in France. The agent uses get_power_production_breakdown to show the current mix of nuclear and wind power.

### Renewable energy tracking
A policy researcher wants to see how much wind power a specific country is hitting today. The agent pulls the live data to confirm the percentage of the grid powered by wind.

### Smart home scheduling
A consumer wants to know if now is a good time to run the dishwasher based on grid greenness. The agent checks the local carbon intensity and suggests waiting until the renewable mix is higher.

## Benefits

- Move from estimates to real-time data by using get_carbon_intensity to see exact gCO2eq/kWh for any region.
- Stop guessing your energy mix with get_power_production_breakdown for a full look at nuclear, wind, and solar.
- Audit global operations faster by comparing multiple regions in one conversation to find the lowest emission zones.
- Optimize server costs and carbon impact simultaneously by choosing the greenest zones for heavy compute tasks.
- Track national energy transitions accurately using list_energy_zones to see all available data points globally.
- Eliminate the need for manual spreadsheets by letting your agent pull live carbon data directly into your workflow.
