Why should I care?
Using power at times when the grid is more green results in less CO2 emissions - try to turn off non-critical appliances when the greenness is low
How does this work?
This tool is not affiliated with Eskom at all - it generates predictions for the greenness of the grid using the weather, and many other features in a machine learning model.
