Ask the Grid

Every asset, with its story attached.

A scaling asset database for the physical grid: plants, batteries, substations, and lines — each joined to its live market state, dispatch history, ownership, and public record.

Open a profile

Six real ERCOT assets. Click one.

Each card opens the published profile for that plant — the same page an analyst uses, with its units, generation history, grid context, commercial record, and sources attached. The first profile is open to anyone; a free account opens the rest.

Figures on each card are taken from that profile’s own published summary.

Or start from the registry.

Every live market has a searchable plant registry — by name, operator, technology, or county — and ranked leaderboards for battery storage, solar, wind, natural gas, hydroelectric, and nuclear. Deep source-backed profiles are published ERCOT-first.

A working profile, not a row in a registry.

Plants, batteries, substations, and lines — each joined to its live market state, dispatch history, ownership, and public record on one page.These are the sections a plant profile renders, in the order the profile’s tab strip lists them. A section that has no data for an asset does not appear.

01

Overview

Overview tab

Live grid events touching the asset surface first, then the key fields — the headline operating numbers, each with a one-line note on where it comes from or how it is derived. Below them the structured profile, and where the equipment is documented, a layout diagram of the containers, turbines, or panels.

02

Units and generators

Units tab

Operating generator records and technology attributes: nameplate and net summer capability, energy source, prime mover, status, operating date, and the planned retirement date. Wind turbine manufacturer, model, and hub height, solar tracking and tilt, and storage charge, discharge, and useful-life energy are carried where the filing reports them.

EIA-860

03

Performance

Performance tab

Monthly generation history and recent market-resource behavior where linked telemetry is available, with peer context — the plant against its technology cohort nationally and in state. Downloadable as CSV.

EIA-923 monthly filings · ERCOT 60-Day SCED Disclosure

04

Grid and market context

Grid tab

Market registration — settlement point, registered market resources, registered capability — plus operating context from price and outage records, emissions and reported controls, the interconnection record, and the nearest substations. Candidate joins stay labeled until corroborated.

05

Commercial, land, and environmental record

Commercial tab

Financing events, transactions and agreements, and the land and environmental record — permits, parcels, and disclosures — each row carrying its amount, date, parties, and a link to the document behind it. Only events scoped to the asset itself are listed.

Source-backed public filings and disclosures

06

Related parties and identifiers

Entities tab

Parties, market resources, and identifiers tied to the asset, with owner, operator, developer, EPC, compliance provider, and interconnecting entity roles kept separate rather than collapsed into one company name.

Entity graph · resolved public records

07

Timeline and sources

Sources tab

Project milestones and the public references behind the profile, listed by publisher and reference type — every one openable at the original.

The profile's own citation table

08

Map

Map tab

The asset in place, with a route back onto the live grid map with the selection still attached.

Depth per asset

Not a row in a registry — a working profile: geography, market participation, output history, events, and sources on one page.

Every field has a filing behind it.

A profile is assembled from public records, not scraped prose. These are the publications the fields are read from, and what each one can and cannot tell you.

EIA-860

Unit records, capacity, technology, status, operating date, and planned retirement

The registry anchor every profile is built on.

EIA-923

Monthly net and gross generation, annual capacity factor

For storage plants, gross generation is shown as a discharge proxy — not a cycle count or a conventional capacity factor.

ERCOT 60-Day SCED Disclosure

Disclosed dispatch for the plant's market resources

ERCOT protects resource-specific SCED information for 60 days, so plant output here is historical, never live.

ERCOT market records

Settlement point, resource mappings, registered capability, unplanned outage disclosures

Price behavior is read at the plant's settlement point over a trailing year.

ERCOT interconnection queue

Queue ID, status, point of interconnection, transmission owner, requested capacity, milestones

Matches carry a confidence and the reasons behind them; a candidate join says so.

U.S. EPA CAMPD

Annual gross load, heat input, CO2, SO2 and NOx tonnage, reported unit types, and control technologies

Reported by year, for the units the program covers.

HIFLD

The five nearest substations, with voltage and distance

A public inventory — coverage may be incomplete or generalized.

The agent rides on the asset database, too. Ask it about anything on the screen — it reads the same live data and answers with the source attached.
