Readable live context

UTC-based timing

Daily, monthly and yearly progress uses UTC time so the counter has one consistent global reference.

Connected data hub

How this is estimated

A yearly electricity-use baseline is distributed across the UTC year and updated on the page every second.

Pulse Of Globe pages use publicly available yearly statistics and convert them into real-time estimates. Values are directional estimates, not official live measurements. For methodology and public datasets, visit the Data Sources page.
