ERCOT's massive RTC B cutover is still a few weeks away, but trial data is already flowing into Grid Status. Curious what it looks like? We just released an ERCOT RTC B dashboard with a visual preview of trial data. You can check it out on the ERCOT Live Page here: gridstatus.io/live/ercot#rtc… While the data doesn't reflect actual market outcomes, it's still worth getting familiar with. We'll keep iterating on the dashboard over the coming weeks, and once RTC B goes live on Dec 5, we'll migrate it to live data.

PJM's Capacity Auction (BRA) for 2026/2027 just cleared at the cap for the entire market. This comes on the heel of Google's recent procurement of hydropower capacity in PJM, signaling no end to Big Tech's insatiable demand for datacenter power.

With this in mind, rates seem likely to continue rising in PJM, and there's no sign of slowed acquisition of clean firm resources within the RTO, as hyperscalers are willing to pay almost anything to win the AI race.
