Frequently asked questions
How green is the AWS Montréal region?
Montréal scores 89/100 on our Green Score. Its grid runs at 31 gCO₂eq/kWh with 91% renewable energy — one of the greenest choices available today.
How is the Green Score calculated?
The score blends five weighted criteria: carbon intensity (40%), renewable energy (25%), availability (15%), latency (10%) and price (10%). Each metric is normalized to 0–100 before weighting.
Where does the data come from?
Carbon and renewable figures are based on public grid data (Electricity Maps, national TSOs) and provider sustainability reports. Prices are indicative list prices for a 4 vCPU / 16 GB VM. The data layer is designed to plug live APIs in later.
What latency should I expect from France?
We estimate ~100 ms round-trip from mainland France to Montréal. Real-world latency varies with your network path and peering.
