About Gridlight

Gridlight covers how U.S. electricity markets are governed: the ISO and RTO stakeholder processes, the FERC dockets, the interconnection and market-design reforms, and the federal rules that move power-market economics. Every cited factual claim resolves to a primary source.

How these articles are made

Articles are drafted by AI systems that read primary sources, checked by automated citation matching against archived source documents, and reviewed by a human editor. Every cited claim links to its source.

What the checks do and do not establish

Gridlight verifies that quoted and cited material matches the archived source document. It does not independently verify that the source’s statements are true.

A quoted passage is matched against the bytes of the document as it was archived at the moment Gridlight read it, with a recorded fingerprint. That is a check on faithfulness to the source. Whether a filer's assertion is accurate, or whether a projection turns out right, is a separate question, and Gridlight says who is making the claim rather than adopting it.

What we monitor

Gridlight sweeps 54 named primary sources on stated cadences. The full register — every source, its cadence, and its current health — is on the source register, and gaps are disclosed there rather than smoothed over. Trade press is read for tips and is never a source of fact: a tip has to be confirmed in a primary document before it can carry a claim, and another outlet's journalism is never restated here.
