Developing a parser for Malta #7125

Open JonathanCauchi opened 2 months ago

Description

I'm curious to know the feasibility of developing a parser for Malta. I'm a Maltese citizen and I see no information on Malta's carbon emissions. Has anyone ever looked into it? If not, I suppose I can do more research on my end to define an approach (if its possible)

I've previously looked if I could find data that meets the requirements, so hourly data with -preferrably- a breakdown by generation type.

Back then, I couldn't find such data at the website for the national electicity company Enermalta.

That may or may not have changed by now. At first glance the website design hasn't changed since I last looked, though.

Still, I suppose you could inquire if they plan on making this kind of data available.

I did find https://open.data.gov.mt/dashboard.html but as far as I can tell there is no power generation data yet.

It will be worth keeping an eye on though.

There is also https://energywateragency.gov.mt/ if we wanted to try and reach them.

I will try to get more information on this topic by reaching out to the respective agencies. Once I get more information, I'll update this issue accordingly.
