Real ComEd prices, fetched live from this page — the same data the app and widget use.
The grid, right now
Every lit state is live — wholesale supply prices, colored by level. Your retail rate depends on your plan.
Know the price. Time the power.
On hourly pricing, the same dryer load can cost 3× more at dinnertime than at dawn. GridPrice makes the difference visible.
