The Grid

Live US electricity demand, region by region. Demand is the highest-frequency economic pulse there is — and where it runs hot vs its own baseline, something is happening.

Think you can site a data center?

This is the real grid the Hyperscale data-center game simulates — pick your region against live national demand. Game link coming soon.

Source: EIA-930 Hourly Electric Grid Monitor, summed to daily MWh per region; trailing partial days excluded. Raw demand is weather-dominated — a heat-wave spike is air conditioning, not an economic boom. The interesting signal is demand running hot without a weather excuse (a weather-adjusted view is on the roadmap). Not investment advice.
