Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 80 rows came out of a blueprint — 19 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each row represents a monthly reporting period per platform.
  • Energy consumption must be split by source (renewable/non-renewable).
  • Carbon emissions must be calculated using standardized conversion factors.
  • Include operational category: cloud, server, or client-side.
  • Renewable energy usage cannot exceed total energy consumption.
  • All platforms must have at least one year of data coverage.
