Hey! Some of these we have planned and even done mockups/tests of internally and just need to find the time to shape and do. These have been mostly focused on price maps and import/export maps in some forms but there are some background work that need to be done first like adding a system to convert all prices to the same currency so you can compare things and then of course the UI elements so I can't give a deadline on when this might happen. Self-sufficiency is an interesting concept but it don't really work with how the current market is set up. For example a electricity producer in Finland can sell their power to a consumer in Denmark causing increased exchanges between all the zones in between. That's simply a market mechanic and it's impossible to determine the self-sufficiency on internal generation alone. That's not to say it's an interesting data point but we'd probably have to call it something like generation/consumption ratio/percentage instead. Utilization factor of installed wind+solar is also tricky as it involves getting accurate capacity values which have turned out to be harder than it should be and they are in many cases only updated yearly so that will skew the realtime results, it's possible we might still be interested in it but it's not a priority at all and honestly a bit unlikely to be implemented at the moment. Total storage would be interested but currently there is simply not enough data for it, only a handful of zones are publishing battery storage information and there are maybe 10 more that have and are publishing hydro storage. Stored hydro reserve data is available on a weekly basis for most of europe but not sure if that's relevant to many people and they would get value out of it. Solar and wind percentage is interesting and don't think we have discussed anything with only those values (we have discussed using the renewable percentage) but that could be interesting and pretty easy to do and get data for since we already have all of that, so this one could probably be implemented once the background and backend work that is needed is done. |

Hi,
Currently, ElectricityMaps provides Production and Consumption maps. I would suggest offering also the following options:
Open to explain the above in more details if needed
