Safe to train on
Built only from a named, redistributable official source under a documented open licence - not scraped web data. No copyright grey zone, no personal data. Ships machine-readable Croissant metadata (ML Commons - loads in Hugging Face / Kaggle / Google), an AI training-licence manifest documenting source, licence and provenance for your model's data governance, and a machine-readable data dictionary (drop it into an agent / RAG prompt so the model knows every column) - all inspectable before you buy.
What's included
- 4 variables per zone × day: carbon intensity, renewable share, price, load
- Carbon intensity + renewable share derived from the ENTSO-E generation mix
- Long format; pivot to wide to model price vs carbon vs renewables
- Source: ENTSO-E (CC-BY, derived)

Australian Power Grid (AEMO NEM)
The spot price and operational demand of Australia's National Electricity Market - one of the most volatile power markets on earth (huge solar/wind, grid batteries, price spikes to the market cap). AEMO publishes the Regional Reference Price (RRP, AUD/MWh) and operational demand (MW) per NEM region as one CSV per month × region; we stitch them into one clean multi-region, multi-metric Parquet - 5-minute from Oct-2021, 30-minute before. Mirrors the ENTSO-E / EIA / Elexon power products, extending the grid suite to the Australian continent.
