Support Carbon-Aware-Computing.com

[davidkopp]

Currently only the support for Electricity Maps is implemented using two endpoints:

• /v3/carbon-intensity/latest
• /v3/carbon-intensity/history

Support for Carbon-Aware-Computing.com makes sense for us to have a free API with a granularity of 15 minutes (instead of the 1 hour from Electricity Maps).

• Base URL: https://intensity.carbon-aware-computing.com
• Documentation:
  • Swagger UI: https://intensity.carbon-aware-computing.com/swagger/UI
  • OpenAPI: https://intensity.carbon-aware-computing.com/swagger.json

Sample Response:

{
  "location": "de",
  "time": "2025-09-22T10:45:00+00:00",
  "value": 270.9
}

See also information provided in the SPECIFICATION file.

To support history data, a polling mechanism is needed: #4

Carbon-Aware-Computing does not support all zones in Europe at the moment. In a call with Arne we decided to want to use three zones for the research project:

• DE
• FR
• AT

Another option than to use the API is to download the JSON file that includes the carbon intensity values from the last day, today and a forecast for tomorrow (after 7 pm): https://github.com/bluehands/Carbon-Aware-Computing?tab=readme-ov-file#download
