U.S. Electric System - Real-time Operating Grid

Explore or analyze near real-time data showing demand and generation of electricity across the United States electric grid. Visualize actual and forecast demand, net generation, and the power flowing between electric systems. The information is collected directly from each interconnected electric system on the EIA-930 survey. 

Among other applications, the data can be used to provide timely information on electric system recovery after power interruptions and to help evaluate the effects of renewable energy, smart grid, and demand response programs on power system operations. The data can also facilitate more informed analysis and policy decisions on a national and regional level.
