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.
