ElectricPy VS gridstatus

ElectricPy

It’s a wide range of sources but basically the different Independent System Operators in the US and the Energy Information Agency (EIA) All of our data scrappers are open source: https://github.com/kmax12/gridstatus

I did not create this, just found it. I think the creator can be reached via GitHub: https://github.com/kmax12/gridstatus

Long-term trends clearly demonstrate the energy grid’s transition to renewable energy sources.

However, renewables like solar and wind come with unique challenges due to their intermittent nature. They are more variable, harder to forecast, have location constraints, and can benefit from battery storage. These factors lead to a more dynamic grid than before.

For instance, several regions in the country provide five-minute updates on their energy generation mix, enabling near real-time observations of renewable energy effects throughout the day

For example, numerous regions across the country provide updates on their energy generation mix at five-minute intervals, allowing for close to real time observations of these effect of renewables throughout the day.

To help those involved in the energy transition, I created an open-source project called Grid Status (https://github.com/kmax12/gridstatus) that provides fuel mix, wholesale pricing, load, load forecasts, and more.

Additionally, I've developed real-time visualizations to make this data more accessible and easier to comprehend: https://www.gridstatus.io

I hope making this data more accessible and understandable will accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.

Here's the project: https://github.com/kmax12/isodata. Let me know if you're interested in collaborating!
