description: Electricity Maps provides electricity grid data - carbon intensity and
  power production/consumption breakdown - for 200+ zones worldwide, in real time,
  as historical series, and as 24-72 hour forecasts. The REST API serves the same
  data behind the live electricity map at app.electricitymap.org, authenticated with
  an auth-token header.
