"Today marks the official release of New Energy Terminal version 1, after a successful month of beta testing. Our open data library for clean energy is now fully operational, offering access to a dynamic range of features including live data, interactive analysis, and customizable REST API endpoints for personalized app use."
From an energy enthusiast, /data scientist, and /full-stack developer
Hey there! NewEnergyTerminal.org v1 is now officially live after a successful month of beta testing. Welcome to our clean energy data library.
The idea is to build an inclusive data platform that provides clarity and opportunities for anyone interested in the clean energy sector, starting with global battery manufacturing and energy storage market data. I’m super excited to see Energy Storage gaining the popularity it deserves. When I first learned about Energy Storage back in 2019, there was around 0.5GW deployed in China. Now, it’s jaw-dropping to note that the cumulative installed capacity jumped to 8+GW in 2022 and 31+GW in 2023, with more coming up in 2024.
Market recap & REST API
To highlight, New Energy Terminal v1 introduces a Market Recap section where you can monitor recently updated energy assets, for up to 30 days ago. There’s also an experimental market recap REST API. For more distant dates, you can instead navigate to our manufacturing or deployment dashboards, tailored for battery supply chain analysis.
Database maintenance
A new Data Field section has been added to the documentation. I’ve summarized the available data fields for you to explore. You’ll know what data is there, what is not, as well as what is still work in progress. I’ll routinely update this manual in a simple, easy-to-comprehend, not-too-dogmatic fashion.
I’m dedicating more energy to data capturing as you can see the statistics are incomplete, while fine-tuning the methodology and documentation as the data volume increases. Currently, I’m focusing on China market data and plan to expand the coverage globally. Daily database maintenance is from 12:00 AM to 12:30 AM HKT:
- London: 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM (UTC+0)
- New York: 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM (UTC-5)
- California: 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM (UTC-8)
TBH, data management hasn’t been easy given the substantial market size. But here’s the fun part – if you’re a geological enthusiast like me, one way to come up with new travel ideas is by doing geospatial mapping, such as analyzing energy assets. Since 2020, I’ve done a lot of virtual tours. Down there, you’ll see a beautiful salt lake called Xiaochaidan Lake that I discovered while Google-mapping PV-Wind-Storage integrated projects near Xitieshan, Qinghai Province, China.
