What the data contains

Energinet, the Danish state-owned transmission system operator, publishes near real-time power system data on its Energi Data Service. The Power System Right Now dataset gives, for every minute, the CO2 emission intensity of electricity consumed in Denmark, production from large and small plants, solar, offshore and onshore wind, the net exchange and the flow on each interconnector (Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, the Great Belt link and Bornholm), and activated automatic frequency restoration reserves. This source reads the last 24 hours on each daily run, one record per minute (about 1,440) keyed by the minute in UTC. Energinet notes the data are upscaled SCADA measurements: errors occur and are generally not corrected, and its settlement datasets are the statistical record. SourceFinch is independent of Energinet.

Fields and types

Every record has these fields. The key field minute_utc identifies a record across runs, so changes are reported field by field.

Evidence behind every value

  • Each run keeps the publisher's exact response, hashed with SHA-256. This sample came from a response with hash eec4ae07081214d116ea155663229880c1ab63d36a3750a92b894178688b0124.
  • Every value records where it came from in that response: a JSON Pointer into the retained capture.
  • Each run gets a signed manifest (Ed25519) timestamped by an RFC 3161 authority: this run's manifest hash is 1904a960b12444ea82e372497f8207aa19d95f12976b1d43eaf1a01536ff5872, timestamped October 13, 2026.
  • The compliance state at capture is recorded with the evidence: robots.txt hash and verdict, AI-preference signals, crawler identity and the usage rights below.
  • Download any run as an evidence bundle (WACZ) and check it offline, without trusting SourceFinch: sourcefinch verify-bundle run.wacz.
