Editorial Policy

Pricing data identified as API-sourced or verified is pulled from primary, authoritative sources. A maintained source list is available in the KilowattLogic Source Ledger.

• →U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) — Commercial and industrial retail electricity rates via the EIA Open Data API v2. These are verified, reported rates from utilities across all 50 states.
• →ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) — Real-time settlement point prices via the ERCOT Public API, authenticated through their official OAuth2 developer program.
• →NYISO (New York Independent System Operator) — Locational-based marginal prices via NYISO's public Market Information System.
• →ISO-NE (ISO New England) — Real-time LMPs via ISO-NE's authorized Web Services API.
• →PJM Interconnection — Wholesale market data via PJM's Data Miner 2 platform.
• →FERC, State PUCs, Utility Filings — Regulatory data sourced from official dockets and public filings.

We do not invent market prices. If an API is unavailable, we display cached data marked as cached, clearly label the information as unavailable, or use a fallback only when the page identifies it as a fallback. Forecasts, scenarios, and procurement recommendations are labeled separately from actual reported market data.

Energy markets mix measured data, regulatory filings, public statements, forecasts, and interpretation. We label those categories so readers can understand how much certainty each claim carries.

• •API-verified — Values fetched from official APIs or structured public datasets, such as EIA retail rates, ISO/RTO prices, or EIA storage data.
• •Source-reported — Values attributed to named filings, regulatory orders, public statements, or market reports.
• •Forecast — Forward-looking values from EIA, ISO planning cases, analyst consensus, or clearly named third-party forecasts.
• •KilowattLogic analysis — Our interpretation, procurement implications, scenario math, or buyer recommendations based on sourced inputs.

Forecasts and analysis should not be read as guaranteed prices, investment advice, or a substitute for contract-specific procurement review.

All wholesale electricity prices reported on KilowattLogic are previous-day 24-hour averages, computed from every available pricing interval across the full trading day. This standard eliminates snapshot bias — where a single moment in time (a peak or a trough) misrepresents the day's actual market conditions.

For each pricing zone, we report:

• •24-Hour Average — The primary metric. Arithmetic mean of all intervals.
• •Daily High — The peak price recorded during the day.
• •Daily Low — The lowest price recorded during the day.
• •Interval Count — How many data points were used (for transparency).

This standard applies consistently across all ISOs/RTOs we cover.

KilowattLogic is funded by Innova Capital Partners. Innova and related portfolio interests may have commercial interests in the energy procurement, brokerage, or advisory space, so we do not represent KilowattLogic as free of all energy-industry relationships.

Our editorial standard is separation, not denial of those relationships. Supplier, broker, retailer, or portfolio relationships do not determine our article conclusions, market rankings, source selection, or whether a company receives favorable coverage.

When we compare rates, evaluate supplier programs, or analyze market trends, our conclusions must be grounded in source-labeled data and clearly separated from any commercial offer or referral path. We do not accept payment for favorable editorial coverage.

Any paid, sponsored, referral, or partner path should be labeled close to the relevant offer. See our Commercial Disclosure for how those labels should work.

KilowattLogic uses an intelligence platform (EnergyForge) to assist with source monitoring, API-backed data collection, analysis, and content drafting. However:

• •API-sourced numbers come from upstream data providers, not from automated text generation
• •Draft language may be software-assisted, but material claims must be traceable to a source, dataset, or labeled analysis
• •Forecasts and scenarios must be labeled as forward-looking, estimated, or analytical rather than presented as actual market prices
• •High-impact claims outside our core energy procurement lane require extra source review before publication

If we discover an error in published content — whether a data inaccuracy, a misattributed source, or a factual mistake — we correct it promptly and transparently:

• •Minor corrections (typos, formatting) are made silently
• •Material corrections (data errors, factual inaccuracies) are noted with a correction notice at the top of the article and the dateModified schema is updated
