PJM · Generation

PJM fuel mix

What generated across PJM each hour, by fuel — gas, nuclear, coal, hydro, wind, solar, storage, oil and the rest — with each one's share of the total. Posted fifteen minutes past the hour and kept by PJM indefinitely.

What it measures

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

  • OutputMW

    Generation from the category over the hour. Storage runs negative while charging.

    gen_mw
  • Share of total

    The category's fraction of the hour's generation, 0–1.

Columns

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

gen_mwrequirednumberGeneration from this category over the hour, MW.e.g. 46698
sharerequirednumberThis category's fraction of the hour's total generation, 0–1, as PJM publishes it (three decimals).e.g. 0.447
renewablerequiredbooleanWhether PJM counts the category as renewable.e.g. false
source_published_at_utctimestampWhen PJM published the row, UTC.
collected_at_utcrequiredtimestampWhen Dryos collected this row, UTC. Stamped by the platform, not the collector.e.g. 2026-09-09T12:35:12Z

Read it

Public, read-only, no key and no sign-up. Relative times stay relative, so a URL keeps working.

curl "https://api.dryos.ai/v1/datasets/pjm-fuel-mix"

Full parameters — bucketing, aggregation, filters and search — are on the API reference.

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 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. 2026-09-09

    First collected, from PJM Data Miner 2.

    Non-member API access was granted on 2026-09-09. Reconciled against live responses the same day: schema, nulls, primary key, value bands and row counts all passed, and the energy identity and the node naming rule were checked row-for-row against the day-ahead feed and the pricing-node master.

How this stream is checked

  • Pulled straight from PJM Data Miner 2 · gen_by_fuel — 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 hourly, :15 past; the interval timestamp is the start of the interval, in UTC.
  • PJM's Eastern Prevailing Time observes daylight saving; its rows carry UTC as well. Every timestamp Dryos serves is UTC.
