It's a nice looking map, I'm personally a big fan of https://app.electricitymaps.com/

I'm sure you could use the same datapoint to cover more zones (cf their Github repo https://github.com/electricitymaps/electricitymaps-contrib/b...)

I am too!

We focus on the United States, so we can have the deepest coverage for each of the regions. In some cases that means were the same as Electricity Maps. In other case, you'll see our data is more real time without relying on estimations.

We have a lot more than generation mix data. For the wholesale energy markets, we also have all the pricing data[1]!

In case you're curious we also have an open source library: https://github.com/kmax12/gridstatus

We'd love to expand, but every new region is hard to support in the same depth as what we currently have in the US
