Energy and siting CAISO file when both copies exist Sample ready

CAISO status changes, entries, and exits

For $49 a month, you get a California ISO file of status changes, entries, and exits, and of changes to eight other tracked fields (including the in-service date), between two dated copies we hold. It is not every field in the queue. When a source read fails, that week has no new file and stays a gap. A week with no tracked moves still gets a file: one coverage row and no project rows.

When the two comparison copies have no tracked-field moves, the file holds one coverage row only (the two comparison dates, the row count and content hash of each workbook, and a note on whether every date in between was fetched) and no project rows; a failed or missing source read creates no new dated file and remains an explicit gap.

Public sample16 CAISO status moves · each row names its own two dates

Named rows below are the product shape. The live CAISO file cannot show last week. All 16 rows are CAISO, and all 16 are status moves. There is no single pair of seals: each row names the two dated copies it sits between.

What we did not collect, said plainly. We read CAISO now. We used to also read MISO and ERCOT, and we still hold what we sealed before each of them stopped. Three days inside our CAISO run are skipped rather than compared against, and we sealed nothing on any of them: on 22 Aug 2026 the CAISO read answered with a 503 error; on 31 Aug 2026 our collector did not run; on 9 Sep 2026 our own network could not look up CAISO’s address. MISO’s last copy is 6 Aug 2026 — the source only serves a browser, and we will not impersonate one — and ERCOT’s is 30 Jul 2026, because its robots.txt disallows the queue paths; neither is read any more. We say that instead of a quiet week.

Who published the data on this page

  • Every row on this page was published by a grid operator, not by us. Written out in full, they are the California ISO. We keep dated copies of their public queue files; the projects, the names and the wording inside those rows are theirs.
  • This page uses material published by the California ISO.
  • Copyright © 2026 California Independent System Operator. All rights reserved.
  • Their terms say "Most of the materials", not all. This file does not claim the Public Queue Report is inside that "Most".

Doing this yourself

CAISO publishes today’s queue and overwrites the last one. To get what moved you have to download the file on a regular cadence, keep the old copy somewhere you can still read it, and line up 2,278 projects against the next copy.

Miss one week and that week is gone. CAISO does not republish it, and there is no public archive to go back to. That is the whole reason this file exists.

What this feed holds

  • $49 a month, billed monthly, for a weekly California ISO what-moved fileCalifornia ISO only. Cancel any month by email.
  • Named CAISO projects that movedStatus changes, entries and exits, plus changes to the project name, fuel, technology, capacity, county, state, queue date or in-service date, out of daily seals. Each row names the two dated copies it sits between. When the two comparison copies have no tracked-field moves, the file holds one coverage row only (the two comparison dates, the row count and content hash of each workbook, and a note on whether every date in between was fetched) and no project rows; a failed or missing source read creates no new dated file and remains an explicit gap.
  • The sample rows stay freeThe 16 status moves in the table on this page, and the 25-row sample CSV and JSON, are free to read.

How it works

  1. You subscribe, or you email us first. We tell you what we hold for CAISO, and what we do not hold, before you spend anything.
  2. After you pay, Stripe sends you to your receipt page. A job that checks for new payments every 10 minutes puts the newest weekly California ISO file there and adds each later week's file while your subscription is active. If no weekly file has been built yet, the page says so.
  3. A dated file is published only when both comparison copies exist. A failed or missing read does not create that week's file, and the gap stays named. Cancel any month by email, with no account to close and no notice period.

What this page cannot tell you

A move is two copies disagreeing, and nothing more. A row here means the same public queue file said one thing on one dated copy and something else on the next. It is not an approval, a rejection, a decision or a filing. If you need to know why a project moved, the operator is the place to ask, and we will say so rather than guess for you.

The file you pay for is CAISO only. We first read the in-service date out of the CAISO file on 11 Sep 2026, so no copy before that day holds one. It is filled in on 2,260 of the 2,278 rows in our 11 Oct 2026 copy, and the paid file lists a change to it (the file calls it proposed_cod) as a move like any other. Two of the queues we read have stopped coming. Our last MISO file is 6 Aug 2026 and our last ERCOT file is 30 Jul 2026. Every page built on those two says “last copy” and promises you nothing further.

The names and the fuels are the operators’ own words. Each operator writes the same fuel differently — Solar, SOL, SUN and S all turn up for the same thing. We print what they printed and mark a label we are not sure of as not clear, rather than tidying it into a category we invented.

See the file before you pay

You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. The table above shows 16 real status moves. The two sample files below are a separate cut: 25 real rows, carrying 9 columns, taken from the dated copies we sealed ourselves. Of the 25, 13 are in-service date moves, 3 are status moves, and 9 read “in-service not given → a date” on 10 → 11 Sep 2026. Those 9 are the day we started reading that field, not a project changing its date. Nothing in it is made up and nothing in it is tidied up.

What arrives after you pay: Stripe sends you to the receipt page. A job that checks for new payments every 10 minutes puts the newest weekly California ISO CSV there and adds each later week's file while your subscription is active; if no weekly file has been built yet, the page says so. It compares successfully collected source copies and names any gaps. A failed source read creates no new dated file. Nobody emails you. The subscriber CSV adds source and coverage columns to the compact preview shown here. A coverage row records the comparison dates and any gaps, including when no changes were observed.

These rows are a slice of what we hold, not the whole of it. The subscription starts at the newest weekly file and adds each later week; see “What arrives after you pay” above and the buy section below.

Questions people ask

This data is public and free. What is this page for, then?

The data is not the hard part. Last week’s copy of it is.

CAISO publishes today’s queue and overwrites the last one. Fetch CAISO now and you get today. There is nowhere to fetch last Tuesday. We have been keeping a dated copy since 11 Jun 2026 — weekly at first, then one a day since 9 Aug 2026 apart from three missed days (22 Aug, when CAISO answered with an error; 31 Aug, when no collection ran; and 9 Sep, when our own name lookup failed) — so the question “what moved” still has an answer. What this page shows is built out of those copies. If you already keep your own dated copies, you do not need us.

Are you allowed to collect this?

Everything here comes from a public queue file we fetched with a collector that says who it is.

Where a source says no, we stop, and we stop on the day we find out. MISO only serves a browser, and the only way to fetch it was to pretend to be one, so we read it ten times, the last on 6 Aug 2026, and stopped. ERCOT’s own robots file disallows the two paths its queue sits under, so we read it nine times, the last on 30 Jul 2026, and stopped. What we sealed before those days is real and we still hold it, and nothing newer comes in from either. Both are named on this page instead of quietly missing. We could get around either one and we are not going to.

You are a small company. What happens if you stop?

Two answers, and neither of them is a promise that we will not.

Nothing here is behind a login, so nothing here disappears with an account. And we are not going to tell you we have a certification or a famous client list, because we do not have either.

How do I know these rows are real?

Check one. Take Menifee Power Bank from the table above and look it up in the CAISO public queue. Every project on this page is a real project in a public file, and both dates are the days we sealed our copies.

The rows we could not stand behind are not here. When a read comes back an error page instead of a queue file we seal nothing for that day and skip it, which is what happened to CAISO on 22 Aug 2026. On 31 Aug and 9 Sep 2026 the fault was ours (no run, then a failed address lookup), and those days are skipped the same way. A skipped day is named on the page for that queue, never quietly dropped.

Do you have the queues I follow?

Probably not all of them, and this page says which rather than leaving you to find out.

The file you pay for is CAISO only, and CAISO is the only queue this family reads now. We used to also read three other queues; none of them is here any more, and that is by our own choice, not a data problem. We still hold every copy we sealed for MISO up to 6 Aug 2026 and for ERCOT up to 30 Jul 2026 on their own free pages, and nothing newer for either, for the reasons above. If the queue you need is missing, email us and say which it is. If we cannot collect it we will say so in the reply.
