About Watts & Wire

Watts & Wire covers the U.S. power and gas markets for everyone who touches them — wholesale traders, utility teams, retail energy providers, policy professionals, and the growing number of consumers navigating deregulated electricity choices.

What We Do

We publish original market news, build data dashboards from free public sources like the EIA and ISO/RTO market operators, and host a growing network of guest contributors — analysts, engineers, ex-regulators, and academics — who bring perspectives a small newsroom alone couldn’t cover.

Why Watts & Wire

Most energy market publications serve either institutional traders or utility policy staff, and gate real data behind expensive subscriptions. We built Watts & Wire to bridge that gap: free compliant market data, plain-language market education, and a home for both the wholesale market and the retail/consumer side of the industry that’s usually left out.

Editorial Independence

Guest contributions reflect the views of their authors, not Watts & Wire. See our Data Sources & Disclaimers page for details on where our information comes from and how it should be used.
