Ask about a price move, explore an asset, or test a network case. The grid agent reads source data, runs AC and DC power-flow studies on supported models, and keeps the evidence beside the answer.
Illustrative investigation. Your answer uses the data and time window you ask about.
Power-market research crosses prices, demand, generation, weather, and the public record. Ask the Grid brings those sources into one investigation, so you can move from a question to the underlying evidence without assembling every table yourself.
Select an asset on the map, name a market and interval, or start with a plain-English question. Follow-ups carry the context forward, and the map and charts help you inspect what the answer found.

Upload a compatible PSS/E RAW or RAWX case and ask the agent to test it. Integrated AC and DC power-flow solvers turn a proposed injection, demand change or branch outage into numerical results beside the answer.
Results retain the source case, scenario and calculation checks. A case study does not establish interconnection approval or dynamic stability.
Work with a network modelStart with the spread, then investigate demand, generation, weather, and reported constraints for the same place and interval. Keep the retrieved evidence beside the explanation as you ask follow-ups.
“Compare day-ahead and real-time prices at HB_WEST over the last 24 hours.”Open this question in ERCOT
Compare actual demand with the published forecast, inspect the time window, and chart the difference. Continue into generation and operator notices to understand the market around it.
“How did actual ERCOT demand compare with the intraday forecast today?”Open this question in ERCOT
Find a plant, node, or substation and carry that selection into the conversation. Explore its public record and nearby network, then ask about the prices and conditions in its market.
“Find Martin Lake on the map and show the grid around it.”Open this question in ERCOT
The answer is the start of the investigation. Inspect the evidence, change the window, and ask the next question.
Investigate nodal prices, DA/RT spreads, congestion, and the operating conditions around a market move.

Use the power-market resource from a compatible assistant through MCP.
It is an assistant that works through an energy research question using market data and tools. Ask the Grid searches its data catalog, queries the relevant datasets, performs calculations, and returns an answer with sources. It can also draw charts and move the map during an investigation.
The grid agent supports ERCOT, CAISO, NYISO, PJM, SPP, MISO, ISO-NE, BPA, TVA, Duke Carolinas, Duke Progress East, Duke Progress West, Duke Florida, FPL, Southern, Baja California, AESO, IESO, CENACE, Hydro-Québec, BC Hydro, Manitoba Hydro, SaskPower, NB Power, IESO Nova Scotia. Available datasets, history, and publication frequency vary by market. The data catalog shows the source and coverage for each dataset.
Open the sources and the execution trace to inspect what the agent read. Answers preserve the market, time, units, and the distinction between observations and forecasts. You can ask for the calculation, chart the result, or narrow the time window in a follow-up.
The agent is the investigation surface; Metis is the forecasting model family. Ask the agent to research observed conditions and published forecasts, and explore the AI models page for Metis 1 Preview price forecasts, horizons, and methodology.
Yes. Upload a compatible PSS/E RAW or RAWX network case. DC power flow screens changes in injection, withdrawal, demand and selected branch outages. Supported full AC power flow adds bus voltage, reactive power, losses and MVA loading. Results retain the case, scenario and calculation checks. These steady-state case studies do not establish interconnection approval or dynamic stability.
The MCP server connects compatible AI clients to Ask the Grid’s power-market data. The developer platform also provides APIs for building your own workflows. See the MCP connection guide for supported clients and setup.
