CEO @gridstatus.io.

I like making things. Interested in energy & data
We’ve already been using this internally to track how load forecasts have been evolving in PJM ahead of next week’s extreme heat wave, which is currently forecasted to hit an all-time record high for load

We're about to release a new Forecast Analysis app on
@gridstatus.io, and I’m looking for users to test it.

Not only does it make pretty visualizations, it helps you understand how forecast vintages evolve over time, compare their historical accuracy, and more.

DM or reply for link!

Anyone else at the ERCOT Innovation Summit today? Come say hi!

A new nodal electricity market went live in Ontario early this morning! Shortly after, we had the data flowing into
@gridstatus.io

So far, LMPs have ranged from $-100/MWh to $367/MWh across the nearly 1000 new nodes in IESO

See the pretty map and more here: www.gridstatus.io/live/ieso

Basically how we’ve built @gridstatus.io

Postgres + ECharts is a hard to beat combo

ERCOT uses both phrases to describe batteries in their data. It's "Power Storage" in their fuel mix chart, but "Energy Storage Resources" in the dedicated graph

At some point, batteries will saturate the market.

Saturation has more than one definition, but the simplest is when there is enough battery capacity attempting to provide ancillary services that the price declines and operators begin to shift towards energy.

That moment may be now

The speed at which batteries have taken over ancillary services in ERCOT is impressive!

Here's my Master's thesis proposal from 10 years ago. Crazy that I'm still trying to solve this problem, now focusing on the energy industry.

As @waldoch.bsky.social pointed out, I forgot to mention communicating/writing about the insights, which is a big part of what we do at @gridstatus.io
