Terms of Use

Last updated: July 23, 2026

These terms apply to the GridPrice mobile app and the gridprice.app website (together, "GridPrice"), operated by James Clay Patton. By using GridPrice you agree to these terms.

Prices are informational only

GridPrice displays electricity price data from public sources, including ComEd's Hourly Pricing program, Ameren Illinois Power Smart Pricing, ERCOT, NYISO, and SPP. This data is provided for information only:

• Prices shown are not billing-quality. Utilities finalize billed prices after the fact, and displayed values may be delayed, revised, or wrong.
• Prices shown are energy supply costs only. Your actual bill includes delivery charges, capacity charges, taxes, and other line items.
• Wholesale prices (Texas, New York, plains states) are market index values, not your retail rate, unless your retail plan explicitly tracks them.

Do not rely on GridPrice for financial, billing, or trading decisions. Always confirm prices with your utility.

No affiliation

GridPrice is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by ComEd, Ameren, ERCOT, NYISO, SPP, or any utility, retail electricity provider, or grid operator. All trademarks belong to their owners.

No warranty

GridPrice is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. Data feeds can break, lag, or disappear when upstream sources change. Alerts and widgets depend on your device's operating system and may be delayed or suppressed by battery management. We are not liable for any loss arising from use of GridPrice, including decisions made based on displayed prices, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Acceptable use

Don't abuse the GridPrice API or attempt to disrupt the service. Automated access at reasonable rates is fine; bulk scraping that degrades the service for others is not.

Changes

These terms may be updated as GridPrice evolves. The date above reflects the latest revision. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
