The Climate Action Tracker (CAT) provides data on the emissions intensity of electricity generation in its CAT Data Explorer, under the 'Sector Indicators and 1.5�C Benchmarks' section. This tool allows users to explore and compare historical data alongside sectoral benchmarks that are compatible with the 1.5�C climate target for CAT countries.
