Assets & live data
The asset info card, live values and sparklines, price and generation detail, and the data catalog.
The info card
Everything about one asset
Click an asset to open a card with its name, type, and metadata — and, where available, a photo. Pin it to keep it while you click around, and stack several cards at once.
Live value & sparkline
Zones show live demand, nodes show price (LMP), and plants show generation — each with a smooth live counter and a sparkline over the scrubbed window. Zones add a forecast overlay.
Click the sparkline to move the time scrubber to that point.
Drill-down detail
Expand the detail section inside a card for the deeper read.
Generation & output — plants
Open a plant's detail for its fuel, capacity, operator, technology, and recent output.
Price detail — nodes
Open a settlement point's detail for its locational price and history.
One free preview, then sign in
Browsing anonymously, you get one full asset drill-down per session. After that, a free account unlocks unlimited price, generation, and history detail on every asset.
The data catalog
Every dataset behind the map
The catalog lists the public datasets Ask the Grid runs on — ISO market feeds, EIA generators, HIFLD transmission, weather, and more — each with its source, schema, a live preview, and a coverage timeline.
