MISO
Midcontinent Independent System Operator · Central United States
MISO balances a footprint that runs from the Canadian border to the Gulf Coast: a continent-scale market where northern wind, southern load, and a long seam between them make regional divergence the normal condition. Ask the Grid now follows that market live across the map, Radar, the native grid agent, and an ISO-bound MCP server.

A market built across a continent.
MISO's structural fact is distance. Wind builds where the wind is (Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas) while load and thermal generation concentrate elsewhere, and the market's north and south regions are stitched together through a constrained transfer path. Weather systems cross the footprint over days, not hours, so the same afternoon can be a wind-surplus problem in one region and a scarcity watch in another.
That geography makes MISO a market you read regionally: where prices separate, which constraints shape dispatch, and how wind output redraws the supply stack. Ask the Grid connects those questions to MISO's own live and historical publications, preserving the operator's exact nodes, regions, reserve zones, and market runs.
