I'm sure you could use the same datapoint to cover more zones (cf their Github repo https://github.com/electricitymaps/electricitymaps-contrib/b...)
We focus on the United States, so we can have the deepest coverage for each of the regions. In some cases that means were the same as Electricity Maps. In other case, you'll see our data is more real time without relying on estimations.
We have a lot more than generation mix data. For the wholesale energy markets, we also have all the pricing data[1]!
In case you're curious we also have an open source library: https://github.com/kmax12/gridstatus
We'd love to expand, but every new region is hard to support in the same depth as what we currently have in the US
I notice that the map uses OpenStreetMap (via Mapbox, it looks like) for its base data, but doesn't display the required attribution[0]. For fixing this, their Attribution Guidelines[1] are pretty informative. Mapbox also has some helpful docs[2], and may have some additional requirements. Thanks!
Edit: After a bit of digging, I'm a bit unimpressed: it looks like the OSM and Mapbox attributions are deliberately hidden? From your compiled index.css:
.mapboxgl-ctrl-logo,
.mapboxgl-ctrl-attrib-inner {
display: none !important;
}

This is why all the people shrieking about how evil the public was/is for 'irrationally' hating nuclear and how we need more nuclear (here, on twitter, and reddit) are idiots, especially when they talk about it providing "grid stability" because of those naughty, highly variable renewables.
Grid stability comes from fast-reacting power sources like natural gas, hydro, and energy storage systems like pumped hydro and batteries. The most famous example of this is in the UK, where pumped hydro is fast enough to react to "The Great British Kettle Surge" aka TV pickup:

Any time someone opens their mouth and says nuclear is the solution to "days with no sun or wind", you can immediately discount everything else that comes out of their mouth as being from a person who doesn't understand the first thing about electrical grids/generation.
Even if it were feasible to change power levels fast enough to react to wind and solar generation changing from a physics standpoint, no power authority in the world would keep nuclear generation (the most expensive form of power generation already) capacity in reserve for a cloudy day.
What we need are more renewable sources, more energy storage, and a wide-scale HVDC distribution network to be able to cost-effectively move power from areas where there is strong generation by renewables to areas that need it, or at least into storage.
ETA: Can I ask why you don't have records for CAISO storage charge level?
