Stories of Grid Decarbonization: Journey Through Different Stages Hourly data tells us the true stories of grid decarbonization. When looking at hourly CFE% across the year, we see significant variations in the availability of clean power. To do this, we use heatmaps, with one block for each hour in the year. Every grid tells its own […]
