WattMarkets

Load forecast

ERCOT publishes rolling forecasts of system load by hour, driven primarily by weather models. Forecast vintages matter: a 2 PM forecast for the 5 PM hour is far more accurate than yesterday's. WattMarkets stores every vintage, displays the forecast as the cool slate-blue dashed line (predictions are cool until reality heats up), and grades its own probability calls against what actually happened.
