Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability gridpulse-us-electricity-grid-status-by-region-4c9880f3
```

Example prompt: What's the current electricity demand and generation mix — especially how much is from renewables versus gas — for the ERCOT region right now, and is the grid showing any stress signals?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time US electricity grid telemetry by region — particularly demand levels, fuel mix breakdowns, and stress indicators. Ideal for energy management, carbon-aware computing, grid monitoring dashboards, or any use case requiring awareness of current grid conditions across the 7 major US regional grids.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized region identifier returns an error or empty response
- Region parameter missing causes a 400-level error
- Data may be delayed or unavailable during grid operator outages
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC balance insufficient

## How this service works

US electricity grid — demand, generation mix (renewable/gas/nuclear), and stress signals across 7 regions

## Output

Returns current electricity demand figures, a breakdown of the generation mix by source (renewable energy including solar/wind, natural gas, nuclear, and potentially other sources), and stress indicators for the requested US grid region. Data covers one of 7 regional grid areas (such as ERCOT, PJM, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE).
