Methodology
- Each ERCOT daily page is saved with its SHA-256 hash. The daily average is the simple mean of the hourly day-ahead prices (24 hours).
- Real-time peaks use the 96 fifteen-minute settlement intervals of complete operating days only. Times are Central (interval ending).
Limitations
- Wholesale prices are not retail rates and do not translate directly into bills.
- Short window; ERCOT's daily pages roll off, so the retained copies are the record. Nov 1 (daylight-saving change) and partial days are excluded.
