What this shows
What this View shows
This is NYISO's live locational marginal price (LMP) at generator and load-zone buses — the same 5-minute Real-Time Dispatch (RTD) feed the interactive map colors nodes with.
Why it matters
New York's eleven load zones price very differently depending on transmission constraints into and within the state — downstate zones like NYC and Long Island are import-constrained while upstate is generation-heavy. Scanning current LMP by pricing point surfaces where those constraints are binding right now.

What people ask
Is this the day-ahead or real-time price?+
Real-time. This View shows NYISO's live 5-minute Real-Time Dispatch (RTD) LMP, not the day-ahead market clearing price.
What's the difference between a zonal and generator price?+
NYISO prices both its eleven load zones (A through K) and individual generator buses. This table lists whichever pricing points NYISO is currently publishing, exactly as reported.
Does a high price mean congestion?+
Not on its own. A high price can reflect system-wide scarcity, local congestion, or both. Compare nearby pricing points and check demand, generation, and outage context before concluding congestion specifically drove one point's price.
Does “Open in Map” restore this exact view?+
Yes. It carries the same layers, filters, viewport, and timeline state shown on this page into the live NYISO workspace — the same save/restore system behind a personal saved view.
