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.
BTM Ontario Wildfire Smoke Complicates Grid Forecasts Across the East Smoke from wildfires in northwestern Ontario has pushed into markets across the Eastern Interconnection. From solar forecasting to load, system operators in NYISO, PJM, ISO-NE, IESO, and MISO are dealing with the impacts.
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.
wildfires High and Dry: Canadian Wildfire Smoke Complicates Northeastern Grid Operations Wildfire impacts are now a regular, if unwelcome guest during Northeastern summers, with smoke affecting both solar output and load patterns in New York and New England.
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 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 Year in Review: Solar Generation in 2024 Tracking solar's growth across US markets and its contribution to peak demand in 2024.
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
Curtailment Curtailment: When We Throw Away Clean Energy As we approach the end of another shoulder season — a period of lower demand and higher transmission outages — it's a good time to explain curtailment, a crucial yet often controversial aspect of today's grid operations.
NYISO Forest Fires Challenge Solar Forecast Models in New York Last week's wildfires in Canada produced a significant amount of smoke that drifted into the United States. How did this affect the electrical grid?
