I find it ironic that the website says grid conditions are normal while prices are thru the roof the entire day.
@gogriddy says it's based on forecasts, but these temperatures have been predicted for over a week, so why the surprise at usage?
The cold weather drove electricity demand to near-record levels today, with pricing averaging about 30¢/kWh.
