Receive the complete issue when your desk begins work.
Power-market reports, delivered where you work.
Ask the Grid writes the report and sends you the whole thing — on a schedule you set, or the moment you need one.
Read it in the platform
The report reader carries the opening decision brief, the full analysis, and the interactive market evidence on one continuous surface.
01
The decision first
The issue opens with the numbers and conditions that matter now, before the longer analysis.
02
The evidence beside it
Charts, maps, assets, and sources stay attached to the claims they support.
03
The prior issue in view
Recurring briefings distinguish a real change from something the desk already knew.
Briefings, reports, and studies
Get a complete market briefing in your inbox, turn a live investigation into a durable report, or run a formal study on an asset.
These are different kinds of work. Reports is the workspace that creates, delivers, and keeps them.
Every issue shown here is written from ERCOT's market record. Ask the Grid itself runs live across 7 US wholesale markets — ERCOT, CAISO, PJM, NYISO, MISO, ISO-NE, and SPP.
One-off reports

Before the asset decision
How each one works — scope, schedule, and what you get3
Briefings
Schedule a market-wide or asset-specific briefing for the exact time you need it. The report stays in the platform archive and covers what changed, what carries into today, and what deserves attention before the next market window.
One-off reports
Run the reporting system once around a market question, selected assets, or the investigation already open on the map. The result is one durable issue, without creating a schedule.
Studies
Use a study when the work needs a longer analytical window, purpose-built methods, and a formal artifact. The ERCOT battery performance audit reconstructs dispatch, benchmarks named peers, and tests alternative strategies.
The email is the report
Each recurring issue arrives in full: written analysis, charts, sources, and direct paths back into the live grid. The exact same report remains in the platform archive for comparison, printing, and review—without forcing the reader to leave the inbox to get the substance.
Read each issue in your inbox or on Ask the Grid with its charts, sources, publication history, and printable edition. Studies also produce a formal PDF for review outside the platform.

Every issue remains available with its period, publication time, and delivery history.
When the work needs a study
Studies are purpose-built for a larger analytical question. The first study in Reports is the ERCOT battery performance audit: a reconstruction of public dispatch, named peer benchmarks, local and market-wide ranking, and tested alternative operating strategies.
The result is a formal PDF built for review outside the platform, while the request and generated issue remain attached to the user's Reports archive.
