Behind-the-meter / gas-fired power inputs for a US data-center market: Henry Hub spot, regional basis differential, and the delivered industrial + electric gas tariff ($/MMBtu), each with its own source label. Pass market=<slug> (e.g. "northern-virginia", "dallas", "phoenix"). ★ WITHDRAWN 2026-08-08: the gas-to-grid levelized cost ($/MWh across CCGT/peaker heat-rate scenarios) is NO LONGER RETURNED. Five surfaces published a $/MWh for the same market on the same day up to 5.5x apart because each chose the burner-tip price by a different rule, with no sanity gate — this endpoint served a physically impossible $6.73/MWh for Phoenix stamped data_basis: "live". The heat-rate arithmetic was correct; the input price selection was not. The $/MMBtu layers are sourced and still returned; gas_to_grid_status carries the reason. DO NOT quote a cached $/MWh figure, and do not derive one yourself from the $/MMBtu without saying that you did. Do NOT use for the electricity grid fuel mix (use get_grid_data).
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| market | string | yes | Market slug (metro), e.g. northern-virginia, dallas, phoenix — valid slugs come from rank_markets / get_market_dcpi_rank |
| heat_rate_btu_per_kwh | number | no | Optional custom generator heat rate in Btu/kWh for the gas-to-grid $/MWh scenario, e.g. 6800 (avg CCGT) |
