Overview

Cleared day-ahead ancillary-service capacity prices in NYISO, one row per hour, zone and product. 3,918,376 rows, 2016-06 to the next delivery day. Products: spin, non_spin, operating_30, reg_capacity. 11 NYISO zones. price_usd_mw is a price for CAPACITY held in reserve — dollars per megawatt of commitment — not dollars per megawatt-hour of energy delivered. The two are different units and are not comparable to an LMP.

Use with MCP

This table is readable two ways, over the same guarded boundary. Over HTTP: POST /api/v1/datasets/nyiso_ancillary_da/query, described in the API reference. Or from an MCP client: connect a market below, then use search_data or describe_data to load its query contract before calling query_data.
