Oh wow, gridstatus is super cool!

I noticed that you have a page on records that have been set. It looks like Ercot released this data today that might be of interest: https://www.ercot.com/news/release/2023-09-14-ercot-provides...

I’m curious why there appears to be a pretty significant delta between their data and yours.

Also, if you’re open to suggestions, I had trouble finding the pricing for gridstatus. Entirely possible I was missing something obvious, but I wanted to see how much it might cost to get the long term Ercot generation-by-source dataset and couldn’t seem to get a clear answer.

Regardless, building things like this takes a ton of effort, and I appreciate all you’re doing. Keep up the great work!




we report the instantaneous load records while that page is reporting the hourly average. I wouldn’t say the results are that different. They point to about the same times even if numbers have a small delta.

My focus right now is to make this data more available and easier to use. Haven’t done much to monetize yet. If you just want that data source, happy to get it to you for free. Shoot me an email at max@gridstatus.io or sign up for a free api key and grab it from the site
