Why this location matters
The trailing median price is $32/MWh and the mean is $39/MWh, but the tail is much sharper: 24 five-minute intervals exceeded $1,000/MWh over the last 365 days, and 1.1% of intervals settled below zero.
ERCOT’s resource crosswalk ties this pricing point to Granite Shoals, a 54 MW hydroelectric facility. That relationship identifies the plant’s associated market location; the settlement point is still a price record, not the physical plant itself.
