A balancing area with no organized wholesale market
Duke Energy Carolinas dispatches its own system within the Eastern Interconnection. There is no ISO or RTO clearing price to chart, so the map shows operating conditions and infrastructure rather than prices. The Duke Carolinas map draws Duke Energy Carolinas together with Duke Energy Progress East and West, each keeping its own EIA balancing-area series.
Demand, the day-ahead demand forecast, generation by fuel and exchanges with each neighbor come from EIA-930 hourly reports, shown with their reported observation time. Territories are drawn from the retail service areas filed under the balancing area, and the plants, substations and transmission lines inside them keep their published identities.
