Daily Energy Market Offer Data

Newer data available in Data Miner
PJM implemented intra-day offers for generation resources in November 2017. The files posted below will reflect data through the end of October 2017. All data for November 2017 forward will be available in Data Miner in April 2018. At that time, the format will be updated to include the hourly generation offers. Due to the required four month delay in posting this data, the November 2017 data will be available in April 2018.

These files contain detail on offers by generators into the PJM Day-Ahead Energy Market. Generator identification is masked to prevent revealing of confidential information, and the masked codes are changed annually.
