Ask the Grid
A live map of the US power grid you can ask anything.
Ask the Grid puts the US power grid on a live map: every plant, transmission line, and price node, moving with the real market. An AI agent reads it with you. Ask where prices are spiking or what wind is covering, and it answers with charts and the map itself, from live ISO data. ERCOT and CAISO are live today, with five more grids mapped. Replay events like the 2021 Texas freeze, browse the open data catalog, and save reports. Free to explore, no account needed.
Howdy Product Hunt, I'm James. We're building out forecasting and decision systems for energy companies, and Ask the Grid started as an internal tool.
We work with power market data all day, and the fastest way to understand what the grid is doing is to see it: every plant, every transmission line, every price, on one map, moving. But that data lives in dozens of ISO reports and formats that take real effort to use. So we put it all on a live map and gave it an agent that reads the data with you.
You can ask where prices are highest right now and why, or how much of demand wind and solar are covering. The agent answers from the same 5-minute market feeds the map renders, draws charts, and moves the map to show you what it means. Everything it reads is in the open data catalog: 75+ datasets, including about 1.5 billion rows of price history back to 2014.
ERCOT (Texas) and CAISO (California), and NYISO (New York) are live today. PJM, MISO, ISO-NE, and SPP are mapped and coming online next. There are also stories, replays of days like the 2021 Texas freeze told with the actual data.
It's free to explore, no account needed. I'd genuinely like to know what you'd want to ask the grid, and which ISO we should light up next.

Who hunted Ask the Grid?
Ask the Grid was hunted by James LePage. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
