- Which features drive the forecast: weather, calendar, demand history, or operations?
- How accurate must the forecast be before it informs dispatch or investment?
Forecasting outputs
- Cleaned forecasting dataset and feature logic
- Model comparison and error metrics
- Demand/generation forecast scenarios
- Uncertainty, sensitivity, and planning-use notes
Data inputs
- Historical demand/generation data
- Weather, calendar, tariff, outage, or event data
- Forecast horizon and use case
- Validation period and acceptable error threshold
