Did you know you can reduce emissions simply by shifting when you use electricity? Project Clean Grid is like a weather forecast for electricity emissions — greener means cleaner.
use electricity at cleaner times
By shifting when you use electricity, you can reduce the emissions of an activity – like charging your EV, charging your home battery, or doing laundry – by anywhere from 5% to 100% depending on your location and the season. It’s simple, easy, and has huge potential to lower carbon emissions. Global non-profit Project Drawdown highlighted it as a top data-driven climate solution that could avoid approximately 34 gigatons of CO₂ over the next decade!
Yet, few people are aware of this important climate solution and almost no one has access to the information to guide them.
That’s where Project Clean Grid comes in. We provide users with real-time and forecast grid emissions data to help you find the cleanest times to use electricity, as well as times to conserve when emissions are high
Use Electricity at Cleaner Times
Real-time data shows when emissions are high (orange to red), so you can conserve energy. The forecast makes it easy to shift flexible tasks like laundry, EV charging, and home battery charging to cleaner (greener) times, cutting emissions and improving air quality.
