# MISO Real-Time Generation Fuel Mix & System Load

> MISO Real-Time Generation Fuel Mix & System Load is a paid API for AI agents from api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Returns MISO's real-time generation fuel mix (MW and share by fuel type) and system load data including current 5-minute load, today's hourly cleared load, and medium-term hourly load forecast.

## Facts

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 miso-real-time-generation-fuel-mix-system-load-a52008c8
```

Example prompt: What's the current MISO grid generation mix right now — how much is coming from wind, solar, nuclear, coal, and natural gas in MW and percentage, and what's the latest system load?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time generation fuel mix and load data specifically for the MISO footprint (15 US states and Manitoba). It is the best choice for monitoring renewable penetration, fossil fuel share, or system load trends in the Midwest and surrounding MISO territory. Prefer this over generic energy APIs when MISO-specific granularity (5-minute intervals, per-fuel breakdown, load forecast) is required.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream MISO data unavailable or delayed — may return stale or empty data
- Network timeout to Cloudflare Workers endpoint
- MISO API outage causing missing fuel mix or load data
- Rate limiting if called at very high frequency

## How this service works

MISO (Midcontinent Independent System Operator, 15 US states and Manitoba) real-time generation fuel mix: MW and share for coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar, battery storage, other and imports, total MW and the 5-minute interval; plus system load: latest 5-minute total load, today's hourly cleared load and the medium-term hourly load forecast.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: per-fuel-type generation in MW and percentage share (coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar, battery storage, other, imports), total generation MW, the 5-minute interval timestamp, the latest 5-minute total system load, today's hourly cleared load schedule, and a medium-term hourly load forecast.
