ERCOT Another Record Bites the Dust At the end of July 2026, ERCOT managed to break its existing solar, battery discharge, load, and net load records in the span of 2 days. We're taking a look at the details, how everything tied together, and the future of the Texas grid.
PJM By The Thermostat's Red Glare As America barreled towards the 250th, heat set up over much of the Eastern Interconnection, pushing systems towards their own milestones. We break down the expected, the surprises, and the specific pain points across PJM, NYISO, ISO-NE, and MISO.
CAISO Batteries Boom but Solar Slides in CAISO For the first time in years, CAISO's solar output in April declined, but wind broke records after a 4-year drought. Gas was down, curtailment up, and battery operations continued to expand. We track all of these and more during a busy spring in California.
IESO One Year of IESO Market Renewal in Ontario Canada's most populous province, Ontario, just celebrated the one-year anniversary of its nodal power market. We're taking a look at market trends, how outcomes tracked against expectations, and quirks across the market.
batteries RTC+B, 60 Days Later in ERCOT 60 days on from the implementation of RTC+B we have data on the offers and outcomes shaping ERCOT's markets. Plus, a big reporting change that flew under the radar for some.
ancillary services ERCOT's 4CP Summer Demand Roller Coaster Takes Off as Storage Flips Outcomes ERCOT's 4CP program is a bellwether for the shifting face of electricity demand and grid services. We explore the new landscape and how real-time data is key for managing the risk of escalating transmission charges.
batteries In CAISO, Solar Generation Jumps Again While Batteries Reshape Demand April 2025 saw another round of record solar and storage participation in CAISO. We’re taking a look at how these resources, on both sides of the meter, continue to reshape market dynamics across the Golden State.
batteries The Sun Also Rises in the Eastern Interconnection MISO and PJM have finally seen substantial solar growth over the past year, but this new generation resource is also affecting the existing stack, altering the operations of coal and gas.
batteries Exploring extreme prices in ERCOT with Grid Status On 2/19/2025 a single location in ERCOT experienced all-time-high prices. What happened, and was the local battery, Rabbit Hill, able to capitalize on these extreme prices?
batteries Byte Blackouts: How large data center loads are surfacing new issues With continued rapid growth in data centers, PJM's demand ecosystem is changing, but the market's resource mix has yet to add its own flexible assets.
batteries ERCOT is on a hot streak during a cold winter ERCOT set new records in load, net load, solar, prices, and battery discharge within a few days, let's explore the data.
ERCOT Batteries have Reshaped ERCOT’s Ancillary Services Procurement For most of their tenure on the ERCOT grid, batteries have largely made their bones supplying ancillary services as opposed to energy, but that is beginning to change.
CAISO Peak Western Conditions Reveal a Changed CAISO On September 5th and 6th, 2024, the California ISO (CAISO) was under stress from both within and without. High temperatures, spiking day-ahead prices, import cuts, and wildfires — a problematic milieu. Despite this, real-time prices remained low and neither conservation calls nor emergency alerts made an appearance. Let'
ERCOT Breaking Down a Record-Setting Day in ERCOT Market highlights and explanations from a day of records in ERCOT.
CAISO Batteries Taking Charge of the California Grid Batteries have taken a huge leap forward in CAISO this spring, shifting from a noteworthy trend into a major force impacting operations of the grid
ancillary services Two Weeks of Firsts in Texas: ECRS and New Records Recently, the Texas grid has caught the attention of the energy industry due to unseasonably warm temperatures and ERCOT's release of a new market product, the first in over a decade.
batteries Balancing Act in California While CAISO continues to set renewable generation records, there are worrying signs of regional balkanization of flexibility which could increase fossil fuel generation in an era when many BAs in the West are trying to do the opposite.
