California Grid Electricity Supply by Fuel: Solar, Wind, Gas, Hydro, Batteries (CAISO)

caisooutlook/supply-by-fuel

Today's electricity supply on the California ISO grid by source, in megawatts, in five-minute steps from midnight Pacific Time: solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, biogas, small hydro, coal, nuclear, natural gas, large hydro, batteries (negative while charging), imports and other, plus the newest reading. Takes no input. California ISO data, reshaped from CSV into JSON and served by Eden Engine; not an official CAISO product.

// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "caisooutlook/supply-by-fuel" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "caisooutlook/supply-by-fuel" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "caisooutlook/supply-by-fuel", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "caisooutlook/supply-by-fuel", input: { /* ... */ } })

// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to do
