Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an account to use Ask the Grid?
- Not for stories, the data catalog, the base map, public layers, live asset info, 2 agent questions, or one hydrated asset profile. A free account unlocks deeper asset detail, up to 40 agent questions per hour, Saved, History, alerts, embeds, and downloads.
- Which grids are covered?
- ERCOT, CAISO, NYISO, PJM, SPP, MISO, and ISO-NE are live today — all seven US organized power markets.
- Where does the data come from?
- Public sources include ISO market feeds, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), HIFLD for transmission and substation geography, and weather publishers such as Open-Meteo. Public datasets exposed by Ask the Grid are documented in the data catalog with their source and cadence.
- Is the agent always right?
- No. Answers are grounded in live public data but can be incomplete, delayed, or wrong. Ask the Grid is for information, not professional advice — verify anything important against the ISO.
