Overview

Hourly settlement point prices cleared in the ERCOT Day-Ahead Market, covering every settlement point in Texas (load zones, hubs, and resource nodes). These are the prices at which energy is bought and sold a day in advance of delivery, set the afternoon before each operating day. They are the day-ahead counterpart to real-time locational prices, and the gap between the two reflects how the market expected conditions to differ from how they actually unfolded. Traders use them to position and hedge, generators and loads use them to plan commitments, and researchers use them to study how congestion and scarcity show up across the grid.
