Welcome to EnergyPulse: What We Cover and How We Work

EnergyPulse covers US capacity, power, REC and renewable fuel markets — sourced, dated, written for practitioners. Here's what to expect and how we work.

US power markets have never been harder to follow. Capacity auctions are being reformed mid-cycle, data-center load growth is rewriting demand forecasts, REC and clean fuel programs multiply state by state — and the information you need to act on any of it is scattered across ISO filings, regulatory dockets and vendor marketing pages.

EnergyPulse exists to close that gap. This is a working publication for the people inside these markets: traders, originators, developers, load-serving entities, and the analysts and engineers who support them.

What we cover

Our coverage is organized into six sections:

  • Capacity markets — auction results, forward zonal prices and forecast providers across PJM, MISO, ISO-NE, NYISO, SPP and CAISO Resource Adequacy.
  • Power price forecasting — who produces long-term wholesale power price forecasts, how their methodologies differ, and how practitioners use them.
  • AI & market intelligence — where machine learning genuinely improves energy price forecasting, and the platforms doing it.
  • REC markets — compliance and voluntary REC prices, state RPS programs and compliance cost planning.
  • Renewable fuels — RINs, LCFS credits and the new state clean fuels programs.
  • Data & valuation — market data APIs, BI integration, asset valuation, tolling agreements and PPA structuring.

How we work

Three rules govern everything we publish:

  1. Every number is sourced. Auction clearing prices, credit prices, deadlines — each factual claim is verified against an official source at the time of writing and linked: ISO/RTO reports, EIA, FERC, EPA, CARB and state program data. If we can't verify it, we don't publish it.
  2. Every article is dated. Publication date and last update are visible on every piece, and market-sensitive articles are refreshed as new data lands.
  3. Comparisons state their criteria. When we compare data and forecast providers, the evaluation criteria are explicit, and every capability claim is checkable against public documentation.

Who is behind this

EnergyPulse is a publication by Noreva.ai, an energy market data and forecasting company. That relationship is disclosed here, on our about page and in the footer of every page. Because our publisher operates in the markets we cover, it appears in our provider comparisons — always alongside its real competitors, judged on the same stated criteria. Our editorial policy explains exactly how we keep that honest.

Articles are researched and written by the EnergyPulse Research team, publishing daily. If you spot an error, tell us — corrections are prioritized.
