Here is the price map for the western U.S. updated approximately every fifteen minutes to various nodes on the grid: Shows wholesale power market prices electricity based on the cost of generating and delivering it from particular grid locations called nodes. The day ahead market runs the day before the energy is needed, while the 15 minute market runs in 15 minute intervals to balance last minute demand needs. Prices are shown in megawatt-hours ($/MWh) caiso.com Now ask yourself why we are being charged so much more by utilities in various areas? There are many, many factors. It's not renewables causing high retail prices. Far from it. They are the cheapest form of generation today. Eric

"Will that lead to lower utility prices?" We'll still have to pay to rebuild the grid, cuz the utilities are starting wildfires. No blackouts on the @California_ISO grid despite the huge growth in #WindWaterSolar. In fact, no blackout since 2020 Instead, we have had 52 straight and 93 of 125 days of >100% WWS on the grid in '25, for an avg of 4.3 hours/day 45% less gas used than in '23; 24% less than '24 pic.twitter.com/ECxl9JgKun — Mark Z.
