Like any event that changes daily routines, Halloween impacts load curves across the country
Over the past 9 years, real-time load has underperformed almost all of PJM’s forecasts over the evening peak, precisely during prime trick-or-treating hours 🔌💡

As PJM prepares its 2026 load outlook utility forecasts show a rapidly shifting landscape, with smaller zones predicting surging demand 🔌💡
A balancing question in play is whether large zones can continue to scale larger, or if small areas have the headroom to steal momentum in the datacenter race

We’re early in the process of rolling out a new app— Nodal Analysis. DM if you’d like to test it and share feedback 🔌💡
We built it with two key upgrades:
1. A new database that runs on-demand analysis of years of data in seconds
2. An enhanced process for organizing the metadata for 75k+ locations

ERCOT load-watchers will know that many days this summer have had a strikingly flat peak load curve, driven by curtailment to avoid 4CP intervals. Less clear was just how much of the resulting forecast gap could be driven by extremely flexible crypto demand. It turns out the answer is a lot 🔌💡
