Recorded from the live product, with this market's data.
Read SPP hub prices, generation and constraints
Southwest Power Pool publishes nodal electricity prices and reference prices at its North and South trading hubs. Read each location on the operator's market clock, keeping real-time prices distinct from day-ahead results.
Compare published wind generation, other fuel output and demand with the matching price intervals. Binding-constraint reports can help investigate price separation; the fuel mix or a nodal spread alone does not establish the cause.
Open the SPP map to inspect pricing locations, transmission and interconnection requests. Use Radar for operating data or open a question in the agent with SPP already selected.
