gen_mwnumberGeneration from this category in the interval, MW.e.g. 4838
source_published_at_utctimestampWhen NYISO published the row.
collected_at_utcrequiredtimestampWhen Dryos collected this row, UTC. Stamped by the platform, not the collector.e.g. 2026-09-14T22:20:11Z

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.

Changes to this collector

A change in the collector is a change in the data. Anyone reading a step in a series is owed the day it moved under them.

  1. 2026-09-14

    First collected, from NYISO's MIS.

    Every other operator's fuel mix was here and NYISO's was not. Reconciled against the live files on 2026-09-14: every check passed.

How this stream is checked

  • Pulled straight from NYISO MIS · Real-Time Fuel Mix — 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.
  • NYISO stamps its files in Eastern prevailing time with no zone column. Every timestamp Dryos serves is UTC.
