Electricity prices in the U.S. can jump from $100/MWh to $3,000/MWh in under an hour during grid stress events. For most people following energy markets, getting clean, current data means paying for expensive platforms or parsing raw government files yourself.
I built EnergyPulse as a free alternative. It tracks residential electricity and natural gas prices across five major states, flags unusual price movements automatically, and generates plain-English summaries of what's happening in each market.
The data comes directly from the EIA's Open Data API and updates on a schedule. Two years of historical data is available so you can see how prices have trended.

Would love feedback from anyone who actually works in energy on what data or states would be most useful to add.
