GünstromIndex - Forcasted CO2 emissions in Germany

logo

The GrünstromIndex (Green Power Index, GSI) is a measure used to indicate the availability of renewable energy in the electricity grid at any given time.
The GrünstromIndex provides forecasts and current status updates to help consumers, businesses, and energy managers optimize their electricity usage based on when the grid is supplied with the most green energy.
By integrating the GrünstromIndex into energy management systems, users can automate the scheduling of energy-intensive tasks—like charging electric vehicles or heating water—during periods when renewable energy is most abundant, reducing carbon footprints and enhancing grid stability.
An outline with background methodology is available at: GrünstromIndex | Corrently API
