The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has two website tools that provide data and visualizations of electricity supply and demand on a national level and on regional levels. Both include hourly data and charts to illustrate fluctuations in supply and demand during selectable time periods. Electricity supply includes net electricity generation and electricity interchanges (transfers) between regions. Regions include the operational areas of the electric system balancing authorities that make up the U.S. electric grid.
Data on peak summer and winter demand for individual utilities are available in the Operational Data file of the Form EIA-861 database files.
EIA does not publish hourly electricity price data, but it does publish wholesale electricity market information including daily volumes, high and low prices, and weighted-average prices on a biweekly basis.
