Marginal plant and costs per state per day

For every state and day: which plant set the marginal cost, that cost, the state's weighted-average procurement cost, and the exchange average and maximum prices. The marginal plant name is the quickest way to see what technology is on the margin in each state (gas, imported coal, old state thermal …) — directly relevant to where RE + storage displaces the most expensive power. The home-page map shows the same marginal cost per state.
