We had a hard time finding this data when experimenting with carbon aware scheduling in Nomad. There seem to be a lot of orgs working on this, but it’s all third party as far as I know. I couldn’t find a first party (eg Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc) that provided this data via an API. Very frustrating.

There are a couple resources linked here: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/h-carbon-meta/CARBON...

The silver lining is that the folks who are working in this space are extremely friendly and passionate in my experience. Don’t be scared to “contact sales for an API key.” The few folks I talked to were extremely helpful.

GCP has https://cloud.google.com/carbon-footprint

AFAIK AWS has similar and it's very focused on reporting usage after the fact: not realtime or forecasting to allow avoiding the impact altogether.

Still might fit OP's use case, but it's very frustrating to me that the big cloud's seem to have this data but not make it available for realtime use.
