We stream new data in as the sources publish it. typically, every 5 minutes.

We collect from a lot of sources, so nearly every minute something is updating.

if this type of data is interesting to you, here’s a site I’ve built that tracks like grid data across the US and Canada: https://www.gridstatus.io/live

We have generation mix, load, and pricing data. Both real time and historical

This article discusses the “deregulated” energy markets that allow many different participants to be involved in the generation of electricity.

One consequence of having many market participants is the availability of data that is published to make the markets function.

If you’re interested in seeing more about the real-time operations, I built a site that tracks all this data: https://www.gridstatus.io/live

thanks for heads up — fixed now

It’s a wide range of sources but basically the different Independent System Operators in the US and the Energy Information Agency (EIA) All of our data scrappers are open source: https://github.com/kmax12/gridstatus

The US electrical grid is changing fast. I built a site to track instantaneous solar generation and other records in real time across different parts of the country.

New solar records are done until next summer but still interesting stuff happening. For example, California hit a new battery charging record a few weeks ago.

All the records and more real time information about US grid are here: https://www.gridstatus.io/records

I am one of the people who built this page and the Grid Status site. Cool to see this posted!

Ultimately, the solar eclipse this weekend came and went without any noticeable impact for consumers of electricity. In my opinion, this is a very notable feat.

A well-planned and executed response by grid operators to a predictable eclipse bodes well for a future where events like a particularly cloudy day, blizzard conditions across a large area, or widespread hail damage to solar farms could reduce generation by similar MW values in the middle of the day.

As the grid becomes a more dynamic and volatile place, making operational and investment decisions based on data is more important than ever before.

fixed!

Indeed! One of the reason I made this site is to make it easier to track all the prices in one spot

It depends on the source of the data. For the regions with the pie charts, those are Independent System Operators (ISOs) or Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs). They publish much more data and is more real time than the other regions, so we have different pages to display them.

I am too!

We focus on the United States, so we can have the deepest coverage for each of the regions. In some cases that means were the same as Electricity Maps. In other case, you'll see our data is more real time without relying on estimations.

We have a lot more than generation mix data. For the wholesale energy markets, we also have all the pricing data[1]!

In case you're curious we also have an open source library: https://github.com/kmax12/gridstatus

We'd love to expand, but every new region is hard to support in the same depth as what we currently have in the US

hmm, ill have to look into that. in that case, check out this listing of all the areas we support: https://www.gridstatus.io/eia.
