Real-Time European Energy Analytics
A high-throughput data engineering pipeline monitoring electricity generation, pricing, and (soon) cross-border flows across 30+ European countries.
About the Pipeline
The European Energy Grid Monitor is a data pipeline with an ETL architecture that processes data from the European Union's ENTSO-E API.
It ingests raw XML data from the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform every hour, normalizes it via Python producers, buffers messages through Apache Kafka, and persists millions of records in a PostgreSQL database.
System Architecture
Real-Time Monitoring
Tracks electricity generation and pricing across 30+ European countries with hourly updates.
Carbon Intensity
Calculates real-time CO₂ emissions for each region based on generation mix and fuel type.
Historical Analysis
Query millions of data points to analyze trends, price patterns, and grid behavior over time.
Decoupled Architecture
Fault-tolerant microservices design ensures reliability and independent scalability of each component.
