When to talk to sales

Contact our sales team if you need:

  • Finer granularity: We can provide 15-minute or 5-minute resolution data depending on your use case. Reach out and we'll configure the right temporal resolution for you.

  • More historical data: Real-time subscriptions include 3 months of trailing history. If you need extended historical data, different time ranges, or custom data configurations, we can tailor a solution to your needs.

  • Multiple countries or regions: Regional bundles and global coverage are available at volume discounts. We cover 130+ zones worldwide. Pricing is tailored to your scope; available signals may vary by zone. We'll help you find the right data for each region you need.

  • Startup or early-stage discount: Growth and early-stage companies may qualify for discounts up to 50%. If you're a startup with fewer than 25 employees or under €2M ARR, apply for our startup discount program.

Important notes

  • Zones, not countries: Electricity Maps organizes data by zones (bidding zones or control areas), which may differ from political borders. Always check the Coverage page to verify availability for your target regions.

  • Custom pricing: When you see "Custom" next to a signal or forecast, it means pricing depends on your specific requirements (e.g., forecast horizon, granularity, zone count). Contact sales for a quote.

  • Trial before you buy: Use the free 14-day trial to validate data quality, coverage, and API integration before purchasing a subscription.
