TECHNICAL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers.
Engineering boundaries.
What is the verified inventory in Data Foundry?
2,535 CAISO Day-Ahead LMP records and 46 ERCOT hourly system demand records.
Can AI compute operators use this to model energy costs?
Yes. Datacenter quants correlate compute workload scheduling against historical LMP price spikes.
Are nodal congestion components included?
Yes. CAISO intervals break down energy, congestion, and electrical loss components.
Can full-grid multi-year historical archives be collected?
Yes. Full historical backfills across PJM, NYISO, and ERCOT are available via custom Foundry contracts.
