Energy & Power workspace

The power & fuels sheet: US generation by fuel (coal / gas / nuclear / wind / solar / hydro), retail electricity by sector, and the fuel-price complex from Brent to the pump

Use it when: Weather weeks, and any time the fuel complex is moving without an obvious inventory reason.

Electricity is where the fuel complex ends up. The generation mix decides which fuel gets bid, and the fuel prices on the same sheet are the inputs to the crude and gas curves.

• Presets in the menu bar, under the category this desk belongs to — one click applies the whole layout, and a checkmark tracks which one is active.
• Or the command palette on Ctrl+P, which finds it by name.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything the desk does not open is in the Add Panel menu.

• 1. Generation by fuel first: coal, gas, nuclear, wind, solar, hydro. The mix is the demand signal for the fuels.
• 2. Retail prices by sector next - residential, commercial, industrial - because they say who is absorbing the cost.
• 3. The fuel complex last, Brent through to the pump, which is the price side of everything above.

The tell: Wind and solar output collapsing in a cold week is a gas call, and it happens days before the storage report says so. That gap is the reason this board exists.

This desk is built from dense sheet panels rather than individual tiles — see below.

Plus 1 dense sheet — wide tables that carry a whole complex in one upstream call rather than a wall of single-series tiles:

• Power & Fuels

• All workspace presets — how docking, link groups and saved layouts work.
• Panel reference — what each panel shows, column by column.
