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?| Grid Status Exports
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.| Grid Status Exports
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.| Grid Status Exports
The Delmarva peninsula is penned in by geography with limited internal generation and strong demand. Managing transmission will be key as the region's fuel mix evolves.| Grid Status Exports
Prior to the current datacenter demand explosion, far west Texas in ERCOT and Dominion in PJM were already experiencing significant demand growth.| Grid Status Exports
New York and New England are heavily interconnected with the Canadian grid, importing cheaper and cleaner power than internal generation. Tariffs are driving uncertainty in both operations and planning.| Grid Status Exports
ERCOT set new records in load, net load, solar, prices, and battery discharge within a few days, let's explore the data.| Grid Status Exports
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.| Grid Status Exports
As the first major winter storms of 2025 unfold, the unique risks of winter weather on the grid are coming into focus. Let’s explore winter's impact on the grid and how regions are adapting to these evolving challenges.| Grid Status Exports

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's dig into conditions| Grid Status Exports
