You are sharing current data from this week. The annual average carbon intensity for EU27 is 296 gCO2eq/kWh. The annual average for Croatia is 246 gCO2eq/kWh, and as I wrote, it is below EU average.

> Meanwhile, Sweden's power sector was the least carbon-intensive in the EU, with 45 gCO₂/kWh.

Can anyone see where Scotland sits? Our live snapshot current shows 7 gCO₂/kWh:

Now that the wind has stopped, it shows 123 gCO₂/kWh.

Interesting, I’ve never seen our gas usage so high. Must be calm there - I’m in Spain at the moment so I can’t tell.

41 gCO₂/kWh in 2019 says this goverment report: https://www.gov.scot/publications/climate-change-plan-monito...

The time period can't be specified in the link unfortunately. But if you click on the year long button, you can compare to other counties. The average over the last year that I see for Croatia is 366 gCO2eq/kWh.

It's alarming to see how much this diverges from the numbers from Statistica.

The 366 is for the past 12 months. If you scroll back to January (or December?), you can see the average for 2022, which it shows as 266. Perhaps 2023 has been a difficult year?

EDIT: I misunderstood the UI. If I click "6 years", it shows 301 for 2022. Also, it claims 0 consumption of nuclear, which must be wrong given the information about the nuclear plant above.
