This dashboard combines datacenter location data with country-level electricity signals to estimate the stability of low-carbon power behind each selected site.
Main sources
- OpenStreetMap (Overpass) for base datacenter geometries and metadata.
- PeeringDB for facility and operator enrichment and cross-checking.
- Electricity Maps for grid time series (mix and carbon intensity) and extra datacenter records. Note: We use the sandbox api key instead of the commercial key, which means that our data is subject to arbitrary inaccuracy.
- MapTiler for the map tiles and map rendering used in the dashboard.
- Public provider references and DataCenterMap for complementary enrichment fields when available.
Core calculation (V-Score)
- Low-carbon sources considered: solar, wind, hydro, nuclear.
- For each source over a 7-day (and 30-day) window, we compute mean output, volatility and a stability term.
- Each source is weighted by its low-carbon share in the same window.
- The weighted stability sum is scaled to 100 to produce the V-Score.
Carbon intensity and mix values are shown as context metrics; they are sourced from Electricity Maps and can change if upstream datasets are revised.
