Dominion revised its near term forecast down as bottlenecks limit new builds. AEP also has a more gradual curve and a major drop in its 2030 forecast, which may be a result of new tariffs that require large loads to pre pay for electric demand
we'll be posting more at www.gridstatus.io/insights
COMED, home to a high share of wind and nuclear power, has seen a rapid increase in expected load growth by the end of the decade. In Dayton Power & Light, a combination of new data center load is expected to spike load levels in 2030.
PJM’s long-term load forecast saw values rise once again in 2026, but the new forecast is outpaced by 2025’s until the 2030s in both the summer and winter 🔌💡

We took a closer look at each region’s primary heating source and the market outcomes that result. Check out our Insights feed over the next few weeks for more ISOs and deep dives into zonal heating trends and more.

Similar to nearby New England, NYISO’s heating is dominated by oil and natural gas . While pipeline limitations are not as big of a concern as in ISO-NE, extended cold snaps and high demand in zones J and K can drive up spot pricing.

The vast majority of heating in ISO-NE is fossil, split between heating oil and natural gas . The reliance on natural gas, particularly in densely populated areas in Eastern MA, along the Connecticut River, and in the NYC suburbs, place added strain on pipeline supply during cold weather events.

Primary home heating fuel source varies across US regions This is mostly driven by climate, historical prices, and year of industrialization/electrification.
With winter in full swing, households across the country have dialed their thermostats up, but the fuels and technologies keeping homes warm vary widely by region.

ERCOT’s cutover to RTC+B systems went smoothly 🔌💡
We’ll be posting live updates on Grid Status Insights as we explore outcomes today and over the weekend.
Through the morning peak we’ve already seen real-time AS prices remain far lower than their day-ahead spike

quebec flipping from a new exporter to importer with nyiso over the last 7 years
New England and New York have new ties with Québec coming online over the next 6 months, but is the power there to support them? 🔌💡
Earlier this year we noticed that flows into the US, and particularly New York, had dropped off, years before the threat of tariffs

Flows during previous winter events originated in the southwest, were scheduled through CAISO, and into the PNW. What happens with multiple seams in the way?
That SPP expansion will lead to optimizing two balancing authorities , one in the eastern interconnection, one in the western
Part two of our Western Markets series went up at the end of last week 🔌💡
this time we focus on SPP West, the undecideds, Canada, and risks in the West

load forecast error in PJM around Halloween
Like any event that changes daily routines, Halloween impacts load curves across the country
Over the past 9 years, real-time load has underperformed almost all of PJM’s forecasts over the evening peak, precisely during prime trick-or-treating hours 🔌💡
lots in the blog - fuel mix, interchange, and more!
part 2 will cover the fulsome western expansion of SPP's market, the Canada of it all, wider western challenges, and pondering the implications to Mid-C of split market participation among its constituent parts

people get excited about price spikes in the real-time market, but most energy clears in the day-ahead, here's a look at CAISO's scheduled demand vs actual, typically the variation is within +/- 5%
timeline of events in the western interconnection
the West may not have a comprehensive RTO, or two, but it's had quite a few administrative layers over the years
CAISO, SPP, and AESO and their new market timelines
CAISO and SPP have new day-ahead markets (each of which includes real-time balancing markets) coming into service over the next 2 years, while AESO (Alberta) is also restructuring their market (similar to Ontario [IESO] earlier this year)
