On the map linked below mouse over the colored points and the LMP is the power price per MW. The different colors reflect different prices and also represent “binding constraints” which are bottlenecks on the grid for reasons like power lines down or transformer problems.
Even though this is MISO, which represents MidUS, you can mouse over various colored points in the eastern US from Canada down to Florida.

I watched the entire eastern US grid at max capacity many times this winter and as recently as last week. I’ve wondered if shutting down so many coal plants in the east is part of the reason. Many utilities chose to shut down coal plants instead of try and meet the new mercury and NOx control EPA mandates. The average customer doesn’t have a clue what is going on behind the light switch and blames the utilities for rising power prices.
Artificially raise the price of energy and you will kill the economy - no way around it.

I pinged everyone on this thread because most people don’t know real time information on the grid is on the web.
Do you have an interactive grid map for New England?
I could not get the one you posted to work for my area.
Thanks, good link. I have family who have been in the power business for years, so I have heard about the trends, the issues and the problems for a very long time. I have also been in places in the world where electricity cannot be taken for granted thanks to wars, incompetence, inadequate infrastructure etc. The people of this country are in for a rude awakening and they are going to live to regret having given so much power (no pun intended) to people who simply do not understand what is behind that morning ritual of warming up the breakfast sandwich.
