MISO · Generation

MISO fuel mix

Output by fuel category across the Midcontinent footprint every five minutes — coal, gas, nuclear, wind, solar, storage, imports and other. From MISO's own dashboard feed, which keeps two days; the history exists because this collector keeps running.

What it measures

Every value, its unit, and what the source means by it.

  • OutputMW

    Generation for the category at the reading. Imports is net interchange counted as supply, so it runs negative on export.

Columns

Exactly what a request answers with, read from the API rather than written here.

ColumnTypeDescription
interval_start_utcrequiredtimestampStart of the interval, UTC. MISO publishes wall-clock Eastern Standard Time year-round with no offset and labels intervals by their end; both are resolved on ingest.e.g. 2026-09-06T14:05:00Z
isorequiredstringPublishing ISO.e.g. MISO
fuelrequiredstringFuel category as MISO names it, upper-snake: COAL, NATURAL_GAS, NUCLEAR, WIND, SOLAR, BATTERY_STORAGE, IMPORTS, OTHER. Imports is the net interchange counted as supply, so it goes negative when MISO exports.e.g. NATURAL_GAS
gen_mwrequirednumberGeneration from this category at the reading, MW.e.g. 23255
source_published_at_utctimestampMISO's own 'as of' stamp on the snapshot this row came from — the display's RefId — in UTC. The vintage of the reading, not when Dryos fetched it.e.g. 2026-09-06T14:20:00Z
collected_at_utcrequiredtimestampWhen Dryos collected this row, UTC. Stamped by the platform, not the collector.e.g. 2026-09-06T14:24:02Z

Ask an agent

The same stream through the Model Context Protocol, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client can query it directly.

shell
claude mcp add --transport http dryos https://api.dryos.ai/mcp

Then ask:

What has Output been at NATURAL_GAS over the last 24 hours, and when did it peak?

Setup for every client is on the MCP server page.

How this stream is checked

  • Pulled straight from MISO Public API · FuelMix — no reseller in between — and compared against that file before it is served.
  • Null means the source did not report it — never zero.
  • A reading lands every 5 min; the interval timestamp is the start of the interval, in UTC.
  • MISO runs on Eastern Standard Time all year and never observes daylight saving. Every timestamp Dryos serves is UTC.
