This helps analyze seasonal patterns in grid carbon footprint and track monthly decarbonization progress. Get monthly carbon intensity of electricity generation for countries/regions
get_carbon_intensity_yearly
Use entity or entity_code to filter by country (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY (e.g., "2020", "2023"). Returns emissions intensity data showing how clean or polluting the electricity grid is over time. Get yearly carbon intensity of electricity generation for countries/regions
get_electricity_demand_monthly
Use entity or entity_code to filter by country (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY-MM (e.g., "2023-01", "2024-12"). Useful for analyzing seasonal demand patterns, peak consumption periods, and demand forecasting. Get monthly electricity demand data for countries/regions
get_electricity_demand_yearly
Use entity or entity_code to specify countries (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY (e.g., "2020", "2023"). Essential for understanding energy consumption trends and comparing per-capita usage across nations. Get yearly electricity demand data for countries/regions
