> Commercial electricity and natural gas procurement intelligence platform

## About

KilowattLogic provides API-backed commercial electricity and natural gas benchmarks, market intelligence, and procurement analysis across ISO/RTO markets and deregulated energy states. Values identified as API-sourced come from upstream data providers such as EIA and ISO/RTO data portals; forecasts and procurement recommendations are labeled separately from reported market data.

## Site Purpose

KilowattLogic is organized as a commercial energy intelligence hub with source-labeled market pages, durable topic hubs, and clear current-state paths. The preferred reading path is:

1. Start with a market, commodity, or topic hub.
2. Read the answer capsule for the concise factual summary.
3. Check the fact labels and source trail.
4. Use related coverage to move from event-level articles back to durable hubs and guides.

## Fact Labels

- API-verified: Values fetched from official APIs or structured public datasets.
- Source-reported: Values attributed to named filings, regulatory orders, public statements, or market reports.
- Forecast: Forward-looking values from EIA, ISO planning cases, analyst consensus, or named third-party forecasts.
- KilowattLogic analysis: Procurement interpretation, scenario math, or buyer recommendations based on sourced inputs.

## Latest Verified Market Benchmarks

- [PJM Expedited Interconnection Track: First Accepted Projects](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/pjm-ferc-capacity-price-collar-extension-2030): Reviewed October 9, 2026. PJM accepted 2,115 MW of nameplate capacity on October 8: two battery projects totaling 1,660 MW and a 455 MW gas-facility upgrade. Mid-2029 is a target; acceptance does not establish final interconnection, accredited capacity, commercial operation, or customer rates.

CBP's extended Jones Act waiver loading deadline expired August 16; KilowattLogic treats the observed flows as historical fuel/logistics context, not proof of a current waiver or price outcome.
- [Puerto Rico 2025 Power Reliability](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/puerto-rico-power-outages-36-hours-2025-eia-reliability): EIA reports Puerto Rico customers averaged 36 hours of non-major-event outages in 2025, up 19% from 2024, plus 23 hours attributed to major events and nearly 16 routine interruptions. KilowattLogic treats these as territory-level planning averages, not a facility outage forecast or proof of storage economics.
- [ERCOT Batch Zero Verification](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/ercot-data-center-batch-zero-interconnection-march-2026): ERCOT issued provisional classifications September 3. Inclusion can remain conditional on verification, model-data cures, or a PUCT exception; specified loads may receive 14 business days for alternate eligibility materials. ERCOT published no qualified-load total, and classification is not approval to energize.
- [NYISO September 2026 Spot Capacity Auction](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/nyiso-capacity-market-reforms-zone-j): NYISO's August 28 posting shows September spot capacity at $12.39/kW-month in New York City, $10.13 on Long Island, and $5.97 for NYCA and the G-J locality. KilowattLogic's August comparison calculates NYC up 0.3%, Long Island unchanged, and G-J/NYCA up 31.8%; these wholesale results are not customer-specific delivered rates.

KilowattLogic treats the national figures as planning context, not a facility Scope 1/2 inventory, retail-rate forecast, or proof of a renewable-energy claim.
- [CHPE Commercial Operation and July Full Output](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/nyiso-champlain-hudson-power-express-testing-2026): NYSERDA says CHPE reached commercial operation May 13, 2026; EIA reports the 1,250 MW line was fully utilized July 3, when Canadian imports supplied 9% of NYISO demand, while June and July repair outages keep availability risk in focus. KilowattLogic does not treat these grid facts as a customer-specific bill guarantee.
- [FERC Leaf River Gas Storage Expansion](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/ferc-leaf-river-19-18-bcf-mississippi-gas-storage-expansion-2026): FERC's July 16, 2026 action authorizes the New Home Salt Dome Storage Facility and a 19.18 Bcf increase in certificated working-gas capacity across three Mississippi counties; KilowattLogic treats this as a regulatory approval, not operating capacity or a delivered-rate guarantee.
- [EIA August 2026 STEO Natural Gas Forecast](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/eia-august-2026-steo-natural-gas-henry-hub-storage-forecast): EIA's August 11, 2026 Short-Term Energy Outlook cuts the 3Q26 Henry Hub forecast to $2.87/MMBtu and projects record end-October working gas of 3,985 Bcf, 5% above the five-year average; KilowattLogic treats this as a forecast benchmark, not supplier pricing.
- [EIA July 2026 STEO Natural Gas Forecast](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/eia-july-2026-steo-natural-gas-henry-hub-power-burn-forecast): Prior-month benchmark showing the July-to-August forecast revision; retained as historical forecast context, not supplier pricing.

KilowattLogic treats this as reported historical data, not a supplier quote.
- [PJM 2028/2029 Capacity Auction Results](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/pjm-2028-2029-capacity-auction-july-2026-watch): PJM's July 14 report says the auction cleared 138,317.8 MW UCAP at the $325/MW-day cap; RPM plus FRR capacity remained 6,831.3 MW below the reliability requirement. KilowattLogic treats this as wholesale capacity and procurement-risk context, not a delivered-rate quote.
- [ERCOT 474 GW Data-Center Audit and September EIA Forecast Revision](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/ercot-410-gw-interconnection-queue-data-center-texas-legislature-april-2026): EIA's September outlook forecasts 790 BkWh of 2027 electricity sales in West South Central, 4.7% below its August forecast but 3.8% above 2026 by KilowattLogic calculations. The four-state regional forecast is separate from Texas's roughly 474 GW request audit and is not an ERCOT forecast, approved load, or a delivered-rate forecast.
- [ERCOT 91.1 GW Peak and 74.5 GW Weekly Average](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/ercot-summer-2026-electricity-pricing-outlook): EIA reports ERCOT demand reached a 91.1 GW hourly peak on July 22 and a 74.5 GW record weekly average for the week ending August 22, 2026. Six consecutive weeks exceeded the prior weekly record; KilowattLogic treats the data as peak-management context, not a retail-rate or customer-specific 4CP result.

A separate September 8 notice says missing meters caused affected September 2 SCED prices to be calculated incorrectly for 13 hours 22 minutes and that ERCOT cannot correct those prices; KilowattLogic does not treat the notice as proof that all real-time LMPs or retail bills were wrong.
- [U.S. Gasoline and Distillate Risk: September 2026](https://kilowattlogic.com/news/us-commercial-crude-oil-inventories-june-2026): EIA says regular gasoline averaged $4.07/gal before Labor Day, gasoline imports were 32% below their five-year average since March, and distillate inventories were 14% below average for week ending August 28.

### Gas Pricing Structure
Commercial natural gas price = NYMEX commodity (Henry Hub benchmark) + regional Basis (pipeline transport differential) + LDC delivery charge. Businesses in deregulated states can lock Basis and NYMEX independently. Best buying windows: April/May and September/October (shoulder months).

### Gas Data Coverage
- EIA Natural Gas API: State-level commercial and industrial rates ($/Mcf)
- NYMEX Henry Hub: National benchmark, reported with explicit period/date when displayed
- EIA Weekly Storage Report: Injection/withdrawal vs 5-year average
