Changelog
A running log of what is new in Ask the Grid: new features, newly available data, and improvements to the map and the agent, in the order they ship.
Today leads with the grid conditions that matter
Today now ranks material findings across all seven US power markets beside a congestion-first map, with direct routes into the evidence behind each signal.
ImprovementInvite your team by email
Setup now takes a list of email addresses and sends each person an invite, instead of leaving you to copy a link and paste it somewhere yourself.
FeatureEverything live on a grid, one market page
Open a market and you get one index of everything running on it — plus new NYISO and MISO transmission maps, and table rows that open the exact node, county, or event on the live map.
The Energy Wire, one page per grid
Every grid now has its own wire — /wire/pjm, /wire/ercot, and one for each of the seven markets — with a permanent address you can link, share, and return to.
ImprovementToday is now your home page
Signing in opens on Today — the markets you track, what moved them, and your saved work — instead of the agent-first landing.
FeatureForecasts for every market — and the whole country
Nineteen new forecast pages: load, prices, wind, and solar for CAISO, PJM, MISO, ISO-NE, and SPP, plus a national US grid load page built on EIA's hourly monitor.
DataThe same columns in every market
Thirty-eight new datasets give prices, load, generation mix, ancillary prices and binding constraints identical column names in ERCOT, CAISO, NYISO, PJM and SPP — so comparing five markets is one question instead of five.
DataNatural gas prices and pipeline flow, now queryable
Three gas datasets join the catalog — CAISO's daily fuel-region prices including Waha, EIA's Henry Hub spot series back to 1997, and FERC pipeline capacity and scheduled flow across 34 interstate pipelines.
FeatureCurated live Views for every market
Nine new curated Views bring live interconnection-queue and real-time LMP pages to all seven markets — MISO, SPP, and ISO-NE included — each one openable as the exact same view on the interactive map.
All seven interconnection queues, one map
Compare the official ERCOT, CAISO, ISO-NE, MISO, NYISO, PJM, and SPP project queues together in the experimental National grid map.
FeatureOne national live grid map
Explore every live US power market together with nationwide generation, transmission, substations, customer outages, and continental weather in the experimental National grid map.
FeatureISO-NE completes the US market map
Explore ISO New England's live load, prices, PNodes, constraints, infrastructure, weather, and interconnection queue on the Map and Radar—or query the same evidence through the grid agent and ISO-NE MCP server.
FeatureMISO is now live on Ask the Grid
Explore MISO's live system, prices, footprint, infrastructure, weather, and interconnection queue on the Map and Radar—or query the same market through the grid agent and MISO MCP server.
Compare published grid forecasts in one place
Browse a new public forecast directory for ERCOT and NYISO, where every page names the issuing operator, forecast vintage, horizon, and source.
FeatureBring your saved workspace into MCP
Connected Ask the Grid MCP clients can now retrieve the saved assets and portfolios in your signed-in workspace, then manage them through one scoped action.
Open a curated live view of the grid
Views pair a focused map configuration with its explanation, sources, and a direct handoff into that exact interactive workspace.
FeatureSubscribe to Ask the Grid Stories from any story
Every story now ends with a one-field subscribe. Enter an email, confirm with the six-digit code, and you land back on the story you were reading, subscribed.
Group your saved assets into portfolios
Collect saved plants into named portfolios, filter the Saved page by one, and file a bulk import straight into a portfolio as you add it.
FeatureAdd a whole portfolio to your watchlist at once
Paste EIA plant IDs or upload a CSV on the Saved page, check what each one resolves to, then add them all in one step.
See data centers on the grid
A new ERCOT map layer places independently mapped data centers beside the infrastructure and market conditions around them.
FeatureOne MCP connection now reaches every live grid
The global MCP server lets compatible AI clients work across ERCOT, CAISO, NYISO, and PJM through one OAuth connection.
Grid events are now generally available
Operational events are now a standard part of the map, Radar, asset pages, alerts, and the grid agent for every supported account.
FeatureConnect AI clients to Ask the Grid with MCP
Give ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other compatible clients a signed-in, market-scoped route into Ask the Grid data and asset intelligence.
Alerts put the grid on watch
Create persistent monitors from the map, Radar, or an asset page—and receive evidence-backed email when the condition activates or recovers.
FeatureExplore ERCOT's interconnection queue on the map
Move from county-level requested capacity to individual project history, while comparing official queue publications and proposed delivery horizons.
Find power assets with source-backed profiles
Search the ERCOT fleet, then open a profile that joins plant records with generation, grid context, and its public sources.
DataPlan around ERCOT outages
Scheduled planned-outage capacity, live planned-versus-forced totals, and per-resource unplanned outages now share one event workflow.
Weather now reaches the current hour and days ahead
A new hourly forecast grid adds temperature, wind, clouds, radiation, and precipitation through the next two days.
ImprovementThe agent can stay with harder questions
Multi-step investigations have more room to follow the evidence, recover from a failed lookup, and finish a useful answer.
PJM is live
The largest US grid operator is now on the map, with live demand, prices, and a seven-day forecast.
ImprovementA clearer way to move through time
The timeline is now a push-up panel with day-based navigation, layered series, and sunrise and sunset markers.
FeatureSwitch grids right on the map
The other grids appear as faint, clickable regions. Click one to jump straight into it.
FeatureEmbed a live grid view anywhere
Share a configurable, always-live slice of the map that you can drop into any page.
