24 alternatives to Predicting the Greenest time to use electricity (AU)
Hello all, I built this for fun this year. It may be able to help: - reduce your carbon footprint, - eg. see the best time to charge your EV - eg. hook up a smart heating/cooling system? - learn more about how the renewables transition Currently limited to the Aus National Electricity Market, sorry... Feedback and questions appreciated!
This tool shows when electricity is greenest to use on Australia's National Electricity Market by predicting renewable energy availability. Users can check optimal times to charge electric vehicles, schedule smart… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Predicting the Greenest time to use electricity (AU) launched in 2022; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

GB Renewables Map an energy experiment created entirely in my free time (day job is visualisation at Octopus Energy). It's an interactive map showing live generation for major wind farms in Great Britain, showing what each wind farm is generating both now and in the past, and where that generation is physically located. Animated weather data is from WeatherLayers and shows current and historic wind conditions on the map, providing context to wind generation around the country. History mode allows you to go back in time and see wind generation and weather conditions for a particular date and…

Hi, we're Zerofy, and our goal is to build a fully automated, real-time, and holistic carbon emission tracking app for households! Our approach relies on tapping all digital data streams representing your life and calculating carbon emissions from them. In the linked post, we describe our approach, show a demo app, and are soliciting feedback! (Once we track emissions, we want to build AI tech that helps reduce. But that's for another post.)

Green Wedge▲69Hi everyone! Last year I posted about my environmental project, but then it didn’t get much attention here. Now, as we’ve made some progress and improved our website a bit using users’ feedback, there is an occasion to give it another chance! This time I’d like to focus on the feature that allows you to check how many trees are really needed to be planted to offset one’s carbon footprint, based on emissions per capita. It includes trees’ survivability rate, as not every seedling will get a chance to mature. It is often an overlooked factor. You can also start gradually planting a whole…
