On February 19th, a battery north of Austin had a high relief shift factor against overlapping constraints, leading to all-time-high prices that approached $30,000/MWh.
We walked through how to use Grid Status to monitor, track, and review these situations 🔌💡

Basically how we’ve built @gridstatus.io
Postgres + ECharts is a hard to beat combo

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?
Prices spiked in ERCOT this morning, mostly driven by the cost of energy from marginal batteries.
We're in the depths of outage season with many thermal assets out for maintenance. In those conditions, even a modest morning load forecast beat can lead to a quick run up the supply stack. 🔌💡
new blog!
this time we dove into the data around an event in PJM last summer where ~1.5 GW of datacenters suddenly dropped off the grid in northern Virginia, PJM's limited tools to deal with these kinds of events, and the sad state of batteries in the RTO 🔌💡

This morning we published our longest blog to date, going deep on IESO in Ontario it nears the May 1st go-live date for its Market Renewal Program (MRP) 🔌💡
little 🧵 with some IESO background, check the blog for more figures and explanation of the MRP

Ontario's power market administrator, IESO, is about to undergo major changes. We explore the history of the ISO and examine the impact these reforms will have on participants.blog.gridstatus.io
One of the better use cases for this message summary stuff that I’ve stumbled across so far
We're about to release a new Forecast Analysis app on
@gridstatus.io, and I’m looking for users to test it.
Not only does it make pretty visualizations, it helps you understand how forecast vintages evolve over time, compare their historical accuracy, and more.
DM or reply for link!
We’ve already been using this internally to track how load forecasts have been evolving in PJM ahead of next week’s extreme heat wave, which is currently forecasted to hit an all-time record high for load

A new nodal electricity market went live in Ontario early this morning! Shortly after, we had the data flowing into
@gridstatus.io
So far, LMPs have ranged from $-100/MWh to $367/MWh across the nearly 1000 new nodes in IESO
