Monitor California ISO power grid conditions, prices and renewable production, receive notifications and track calendar events with this free mobile application. Features: · Monitor available resource adequacy capacity to identify when energy supply might be tight, up to 7 days in advance. · View grid status and available capacity measured against the current demand and the forecasted peak. · View renewables and supply graphs as stacked charts. · View peak and daily production data for past dates on the renewables trend graph. · View breakdown of supply and renewables serving the ISO. · Monitor emissions. · View wholesale energy prices on the price map. Use the slider to easily filter out nodes based on Location Marginal Prices (LMP). · Compare demand and net demand plus historic data. · Users can receive Flex Alerts to notify them when conservation is needed, get energy system notifications, along with ability to add ISO meetings and events to their calendar. About the California ISO: As the nonprofit public-benefit corporation ensuring reliability for most of California's and a portion of Nevada's high-voltage power grid, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) is helping advance a smarter, cleaner, and more reliable energy future. The ISO operates a competitive energy market that balances supply with demand and has a key role in achieving clean energy goals in the West.

Very cool! One suggestion...

I think this app is so cool as an everyday energy nerd and day job campus energy manager who’s interested in system demand. One functionality I’d like to see is a graph where you can see today’s demand & net demand compared to this day last year, or the past week’s average, or both, or some other similar historical comparison. I like the “yesterdays renewables report” but it would be nice to have that data available more than just one day (ie through what I mentioned before).

Fascinating information resource

As a California energy consumer, I’m fascinated by the information that this app provides, even though it seems to be primarily aimed at energy industry professionals. This app is really well done from a software usability standpoint and I think they’ve done a first class job. What I would love to see is a section in the app for consumers, giving timely iOS push-notifications on when to postpone energy use and when to take advantage of a temporary over-abundance of cheap zero carbon renewables. If properly done, the signal might automatically be actionable by other home automation apps, if necessary through helper services like IFTTT or Zapier. For example a WiFi connected app-enabled window air conditioner might kick on to get a headstart on cooling down a house or running a dishwasher, before energy prime-time begins, or pause it when supplies are getting critical. Consumers might be able to get a smart variable thermostat added on to an electric water heater that could respond to demand response signals from CAISO, taking advantage of varying situations to better match supply and demand. New EV chargers (“EVSE’s”) are more frequently coming with WiFi which could potentially enable app-connected integration to ramp up or dial back charging from outside queues from CAISO. Sure, some of these devices can be set by timers, or run manually by remote, but it seems like it would be ideal to let the people watching the grid minute by minute have a hand in guiding these. Waiting for investor-owned (monopolistic) utilities to promote advanced energy technologies is like waiting for pre-breakup AT&T to promote cellphones. It really needs a state or regional government, or energy NGO like CAISO to lead the way.

Correctable errors, otherwise great

Basically the general functions of the app seem excellent, with the alerts directly useful to consumers, the other data interesting and educational. Bugs: * On a smaller-screen iPhone (e.g., 6s) the items below Calendar on the Home Screen are difficult-to-impossible to reach. “Daily Briefing” is only half-visible, and can be tapped with care, but “Twitter” and “About Flex Alert” can only be seen while holding a swipe-up but cannot be tapped. * “Calendar” crashes instantly and reproducibly. Fix these bugs and my rating would be 4+. Otherwise it seems like a great app. I like the plotting options and all the informative “(i)”-button help screens. Feature request: * Add an ability to see multi-day and seasonal trends.Support previous commenter’s request for a home-screen widget! Show the current alert status, maybe with time remaining before the alert ends, and perhaps the current demand.

The future of consumers understanding their electricity use

I’ve been consuming CAISO’s online reports for sometime now and I’m quite pleased the app has my most often consumer reports easily displayed in the alongside a few new ones. I encourage them to continue their great work. This is the future of consumers understanding how their time of use can have a large impact on emissions, prices and stability of the grid. Keep it up!

• Fixed an issue where some Daily Briefing group labels appeared as black text on a black background. • Updated the Twitter link to point to the correct account feed on X.
