LiveCurtailment Tracker

How much clean energy gets thrown away. Every day, by ISO.

Daily solar and wind curtailment across CAISO (California), SPP (Great Plains), and ERCOT (Texas). 90-day rolling history. Reveals where the grid is congested and where storage is needed most. Refreshed each morning.

US nodal LMP price map
LiveNodal LMP Price Map

Live electricity prices on a map. Every pricing node, every ISO.

Full-screen nodal price map across NYISO, ERCOT, MISO, SPP, and CAISO. Every node color-coded from green to red by real-time LMP. Click any node for 14-day history: energy, congestion, and loss breakdown. RT and DA markets. Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds.

LiveLMP Dashboard

Electricity spot prices across the US grid. Every 5 minutes.

Real-time and day-ahead locational marginal prices across NYISO, PJM, CAISO, and SPP. Energy, congestion, and loss components per hub node. Fuel mix by source, Henry Hub gas prices, grid temperatures, renewable curtailment, and battery storage, all in one terminal.

ERCOT spread forecast live track record preview
LiveERCOT Spread Forecast

Our model calls the price spread. See if it was right.

A temporal fusion transformer publishes day-ahead RT-DA spread forecasts for 15 ERCOT hubs and load zones every day, before delivery. Forecasts are written once and never revised, then scored in public against realized prices, including a paper-traded trading signal with published, fee-adjusted P&L.

Vision

Energy and compute, used with unprecedented wisdom.

Evidence replaces guesswork. Efficiency becomes the default interface to power. We build the tools that help teams make data-driven decisions that scale, toward a civilization that uses every joule and every FLOP with intention.

How we build

Three pillars.

Abstract planning and routing visualization
01

Plan

Concrete schedules and policies. Evidence first, assumptions labeled, advisory before automation.

Abstract metrics and validation visualization
02

Prove

Baselines, assumptions, and measured deltas. If we can't explain it, we don't deploy it.

Abstract scaling and modular growth visualization
03

Scale

Automation only where data supports it. Systems that compound without compounding risk.
