GridPulse
Analytics for the grid transition
What is GridPulse?
GridPulse transforms federal EIA-930 data into stories anyone can read—which fuels are powering your region, how clean energy is reshaping the grid, and what happens when a winter storm hits.
Raw Data → Daily Stories
Hourly generation, demand, and interchange data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, processed into dashboards, briefs, and trend analysis.
Every Major Grid, One Dashboard
Track grid patterns across CAISO, PJM, ERCOT, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISONE, and more—each with regional fuel mix, emissions, and demand profiles.
Built by One. Runs for $40/month.
Built and operated by a single person using APES. Microservices on ECS Fargate, Terraform infrastructure, automated pipelines—running at ~$40/month.
See It In Action
A 10-minute walkthrough of GridPulse — the features, the data, and the methodology behind it. From the PTC ThinkAI event, February 2026.
Features
Five live features covering different aspects of the grid transition.
Daily Pulse
AI-generated daily briefs with annotated demand and generation charts. Headlines, key metrics, and narrative context for each balancing authority.
Fuel Mix
Current generation breakdown by fuel source with CO₂ intensity tracking, clean energy percentages, and next clean window predictions.
Duck Days
Ranked gallery of days with the deepest net-load "duck curves"—showing when solar production most exceeds demand. Scoring algorithm and detail views.
What Changed
Daily KPI diff cards comparing today's grid metrics against a 4-week rolling baseline. Highlights shifts in demand, emissions, solar, and wind.
Storm Watch
Multi-region dashboard tracking weather event impacts on electrical grids. Demand anomalies, interchange flows, and fuel mix shifts during storms.
Built by APES
GridPulse was built using the APES methodology—AI-first Product Engineering, with Specs. Every feature started as a detailed specification before any code was written.
