How to get global electricity grid data into an AI agent
If your agent reasons about power — siting data centers, tracking renewables, comparing markets — it usually needs grid data from several regions at once. The raw sources exist (ENTSO-E in Europe, EIA in the US, NESO, AEMO…), but each has its own API, its own registration, and its own schema. Stitching them together is a project. There's a one-call alternative.
The short answer: connect your agent to DC Hub's MCP server and call get_grid_scoreboard. One call returns normalized grid telemetry across 6 countries — generation mix and renewable share in a single schema — with no per-region API keys to register. Free tier: 10 calls/day, no signup.
Step 1 — Connect (one line)

Ask: "Compare the generation mix and renewable share across the major grids." — your agent calls get_grid_scoreboard and gets live ground truth in one normalized shape:
| Region | Generation (MW) | Renewable |
|---|---|---|
| Europe (ENTSO-E, 25 zones) | 314,682 | 58.6% |
| Taiwan (Taipower) | 34,214 | 4.3% |
| Australia (AEMO) | 26,062 | — |
| Great Britain (NESO) | 15,446 | 34.5% |
| United States | 7 ISOs + 50+ EIA balancing authorities | |
Across all regions DC Hub's grid-coverage map tracks 82 zones across 6 countries, refreshed every 15 minutes. Per-region detail (ISO-level) comes from get_grid_intelligence.

Why this beats wiring up each region's API
- One schema, every continent. ENTSO-E, EIA, NESO, AEMO and Taipower each return a different format with different auth; DC Hub normalizes them so your agent reasons across regions without per-source adapters or API-key registration.
- Agent-native. It's an MCP tool call with a free self-serve tier — not a Python ETL pipeline you build and babysit.
- Cross-referenced with the data-center context. The same server ties grid telemetry to data-center capacity, interconnection queues, and DCPI — so your agent can answer "where is there clean power and headroom for a new site," not just "what's the generation mix."
The underlying public sources (ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, EIA, NESO, AEMO) are free and excellent — DC Hub's value is making them agent-ready, normalized, and joined to the data-center decision layer.
