Boundaries are ERCOT's official ZIP-code weather-zone assignments (Load Profiling Guide, Appendix D) dissolved over US Census ZCTA geometry, inside the Census state line. City readings are live NWS station observations (KIAH, KDFW, KAUS, KSAT, KLBB). Zone temps are ERCOT's per-zone vintages. Price tags are real-time settlement point prices for the eight load zones, anchored over each zone's service area. The full recipe is in the methodology. Want live peak data on your own site?
