Sources and methods

The information on this site, Gridandgeneration, is compiled from publicly available sources. These include official feeds from grid operators, regulatory agencies, and established news publications across the North American market. The site monitors these published feeds and indexes covering all sections of its core subject: the electricity grid and its price, encompassing generation, transmission, demand, costs, and associated policy. This forms a comprehensive spine of current industry information.

News stories drawn from these publications are processed with automated assistance. The system extracts key facts and data points, which are then rewritten into a neutral, plain-English summary. Each resulting news item is explicitly credited to the original publication from which it was sourced. This approach ensures attribution while distilling complex reports into their essential elements for clarity and utility.

To maintain factual reliability, any singular claim or figure appearing in only one publication is treated cautiously. While it may be included in a summary, it is flagged for verification and will only be integrated into the site’s stable reference pages if corroborated by subsequent reports or official data releases. This helps the site avoid propagating unverified information.

The site’s reference pages, such as those for a regional grid, a generation source, or a specific utility, are built differently from news items. They are constructed from verified, stable facts. These are presented in a structured facts table, accompanied by a credited photograph where available. These pages serve as factual anchors, distilling complex entities and concepts into clear reference material.

All content is subject to regular review. News coverage is refreshed continuously as new information is published. The factual reference pages are reviewed and updated on a scheduled cycle, typically quarterly or when significant new data is officially released, to ensure they remain accurate and useful.
